Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does wavelength in megametres measure?
-
It measures the spatial period of waves on a large scale, like planetary or astrophysical waves, where one megametre equals one million metres.
-
What is the dekahertz unit used for?
-
Dekahertz is an SI-derived unit of frequency equal to 10 hertz, often used for describing frequencies in the tens of cycles per second range.
-
Why convert wavelength in megametres to dekahertz?
-
Converting helps interpret very long wavelengths in terms of frequency, facilitating analysis across astrophysics, geophysics, and related fields.
