They aren't comparable. "Meter" is a length, while "Hertz" is a frequency.
The equation to use in this case is:speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency If the frequency is in hertz, and the wavelength is in meters, the speed will be in meters/second.
The speed of any wave is the product of wavelength x frequency. In this case, because of the units chosen (meters, and hertz, which is equal to 1/second), the speed will come out in meters/second.

(The speed of the wave in meters per second) x (second) is.
500 hertz
You don't. Hertz and meters measure two completely different things.
You get a speed. If the 'Hertz' is the frequency of a particular wave, and the 'meters' is the wavelength of the same wave, then their product is the speed of that wave.
The meters cancel, so you get "per second", or "1/second". That unit has the special name hertz. It is a unit of frequency.
331/20 = 16.55 meters.And by the way ... The hertz is not 20. The 'frequency' is 20 hertz.
Kilo means 1000, so kilometer = 1000 meters, kilohertz = 1000 hertz, kiloliter = 1000 liters, etc.
60Hz has a wavelength of 5000 meters.
The equation to use in this case is:speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency If the frequency is in hertz, and the wavelength is in meters, the speed will be in meters/second.
The speed of any wave is the product of wavelength x frequency. In this case, because of the units chosen (meters, and hertz, which is equal to 1/second), the speed will come out in meters/second.
Just multiply the wavelength (in meters) with the frequency (in Hertz) to get the speed (in m/s).
Those two units are completely unrelated. Meter is a measure of length, Hertz is a unit of frequency (reciprocal of seconds).

Just divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in hertz) - that will give you the wavelength (in meters). You can then convert that to nm.
