Why convert microhertz to wavelength in hectometres?

Converting frequency in microhertz to wavelength in hectometres translates temporal wave oscillations into spatial distances, aiding analysis in fields like seismology, astrophysics, and marine engineering.

Can this conversion be used for waves traveling slower than light?

The conversion assumes wave speed equal to the speed of light or a known wave propagation velocity; deviations from this will affect conversion accuracy.
