assuming that the electrons travel very close to C (the speed of light, i.e. 299 792 458 m / s) then simply using:Wavelength = Velocity / frequency
it is given:
Wavelength @50Hz= (299 792 458 (m*sec-1))/(50 (sec-1))=599584917 m = ~6000km
(remember that once the distance gets to factors of 25%, 50%, 100%, 125% ... of the wavelength, funny stuff happens to your transmission line due to the equivalent impedance at the receiving point!)
There is no inherent disadvantage of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz, bearing in mind that systems that run at 50 Hz are designed to run at 50 Hz.
10 Hz 10 Hz
No, these are two different distribution systems. The North American system uses 60 Hz and the European system uses 50 Hz.
Supplies are nearly always 50 Hz or 60 Hz. India's choice of 50 Hz probably goes back to the days when India took its technology infrastucture from the UK, so they probably imported the choice of 50 Hz at that time.
60 Hz in North America, 50 Hz in Europe.
The frequency that electricity is generated at in the UK is 50 Hertz.
The wavelength of a wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of wave / frequency. In this case, the wavelength would be 0.5 meters, as 50 m/s divided by 100 Hz equals 0.5 meters.

A Frequency of 50 Hertz has a Wavelength of 5.9958e+8 Centimeters 1.9671e+7 Feet 5.9958e+6 Meters
"50 Hz" is the shortened form of "50 hertz" which means "50 cycles per second". 50 Hz is the frequency of alternating current (ac) used by national electricity power services in many countries in Europe and elsewhere in the world whilst in USA, Canada and many other countries it is 60 Hz.
The wavelength is (the speed of the wave) / (350) .
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 2/15 Hz = roughly 0.133... Hz.
UK mains electricity operates at a nominal voltage of 230 V (+10%/-6%), at 50 Hz.
The wavelength of a 565 Hz signal can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Therefore, the wavelength of a 565 Hz signal is approximately 531,858 meters.
