What does microhertz measure?

Microhertz measures extremely low frequencies, equivalent to one millionth of a hertz, often used for very slow oscillations in geophysical and astrophysical contexts.

How is wavelength related to microhertz?

Wavelength in nanometres is inversely related to microhertz frequency by the speed of light, meaning lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths.

Can the conversion be used in non-vacuum environments?

No, this conversion assumes the speed of light in vacuum; wavelength values may differ in other media.
