A picohertz (pHz) is a frequency unit equal to 10⁻¹² hertz, representing extremely low-frequency oscillations such as those occurring over tens of thousands of years.

How is wavelength in petametres related to picohertz?

Wavelength in petametres corresponds to the spatial period of a wave and is inversely related to frequency in picohertz through the speed of light.

Can this converter be used for all types of waves?

This converter mainly applies to electromagnetic or similar waves traveling at light speed; it may not be meaningful for waves with significantly different speeds or non-wave phenomena.
