What does picohertz measure?

Picohertz (pHz) measures very low frequency equal to 10⁻¹² hertz, representing oscillations with extremely long periods, often on the scale of tens of thousands of years.

How is wavelength related to frequency?

Wavelength in metres is the spatial distance over which a wave repeats its phase, calculated by dividing wave speed by frequency.

Why are wavelength values so large for picohertz frequencies?

Because picohertz frequencies correspond to very slow oscillations with extremely long periods, their wavelengths become astronomically large.
