Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter".
Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".

What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?
If only there were an equation that related the speed of EM waves, wavelength, and frequency... c=(wavelength)(frequency) Make sure and keep your units straight.
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of cm and a frequency of KHz?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a speed of 10 ms?
Convert the cm to meters, to have compatible units. Then use the fact that the frequency times the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave. In this case, you can divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a period of 0.5 s?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 10?
You need specify the units associated with the number 10.In any event, a very simple relationship exists between the wavelength and the frequency for all forms of electromagnetic radiation - the product of the two is equal to the speed of light. Therefore, the frequency you want to know can be determined by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength. Just be sure that you are consistent with the units

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of cm and a frequency of KHz?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 50 cm and a frequency of 4 KHz?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).

Convert the cm to meters, to have compatible units. Then use the fact that the frequency times the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave. In this case, you can divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.
A wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wave speed of 18 ms. What is its wavelength?
Just divide the speed by the frequency. Since SI units are used, the wavelength will be in meters.
What is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 5 cycle and whose frequency is 5Hz?
The answer is in the question! 5 Hz Also, a wavelength cannot be 5 cycles - wrong units.
How fast is a wave moving if its wavelength is 10meters and its frequency is 110Hz?
The speed of a wave is equal to its wavelength times its frequency. Since you are using SI units, the answer will be in meters/second.
What is unit of electromagnetic spectrum?
electromagnetic spectrum can be interpreted in the units of frequency i.e. hertz or in the units of wavelength i.e nm
What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 760 Hz and wavelength of .45?
The answer depends on the units used for .45 and since these are not given, there cannot be a sensible answer.
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a period of 0.5 s?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency
How do you find the wavelengths in meters of radiation what frequencies?
Wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave, so wavelength = speed / frequency. In SI units, wavelength (in meters) = speed (in meters/second) / frequency (in Hertz). If you are talking about electromagnetic waves in avacuum, use 300,000,000 m/s for the speed.
