What does one petahertz represent?

One petahertz equals 10^15 hertz, describing an extremely high frequency corresponding to cycles per second in electromagnetic waves.

How is wavelength linked to frequency in this conversion?

Wavelength and frequency are related through the speed of light; higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths, calculated using c = λ·ν.

Can this conversion be used for waves in media other than vacuum?

This conversion assumes vacuum propagation, and changes in the refractive index of other media can alter the resulting wavelength values.
