What does 1 exahertz represent in terms of frequency?

One exahertz equals 10^18 hertz, which is a very high frequency corresponding to electromagnetic waves in the soft X-ray region.

Why use gigametres to express wavelength?

Gigametres, equal to 10^9 metres, are useful for describing extremely long wavelength scales such as those in planetary magnetospheres and interplanetary space.

Can this tool be used for all electromagnetic wave frequencies?

This converter specifically relates exahertz frequencies to wavelength in gigametres and is suited for extremely high-frequency soft X-rays and very low-frequency electromagnetic waves across large spatial scales.
