The unit of frequency is always 'reciprocal time' ... "per second", "per minute", "per hour", etc.,

no matter what the speed or wavelength may be.

Examples:

Speed = 10 meters per second, wavelength = 2 meters.

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = (10 meters / sec) / (2 meters) = 5 per second.

Speed = 100 yards per hour, wavelength = 1 mile

Frequency = (speed/wavelength) = (100 yd/hour) / (1 mile) =

(100 yd/hour-mile)x(1 mile/1760 yd) = (100/1760) per hour.

Speed = 60 ft/sec, wavelength = 1 inch

Frequency = (speed/wavelength) = (60 ft/1 inch-sec) x (12 inch/ft) = 720 per sec.

How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?

"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.


What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?

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 a wave with a wavelength of 5 meters and a speed of 10 meters per second?

2 Hz


What is the speed of a wave if its wavelength is 0.02meters its frequencyis 400hz?

If you multiply the wavelength (in meters) and the frequency (in Hertz), you will get the speed of the wave (in meters per second).


What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency?

The speed is (2 times the frequency) meters per second.
