What does petahertz measure?

Petahertz (PHz) is a unit of frequency equal to 10^15 hertz, representing cycles or oscillations per second for electromagnetic waves.

Why convert petahertz to wavelength in hectometres?

Converting petahertz to wavelength in hectometres helps relate very high-frequency electromagnetic data to spatial scales, useful in scientific and engineering analyses.

Can this converter be used for waves in mediums other than vacuum?

The converter assumes wave speed equal to the speed of light in vacuum; for other media the wavelength may differ and results should be interpreted accordingly.
