What does wavelength in terametres represent?

It represents the distance between successive wave crests measured in terametres, where 1 terametre equals 10^12 metres, useful for describing extremely long electromagnetic waves.

What is a cycle per second unit?

A cycle per second is a unit of frequency indicating the number of complete oscillations occurring each second; it is equivalent to one hertz (Hz).

Why is this conversion important in astrophysics?

Because it helps convert very long wavelengths into frequencies that characterize phenomena like gravitational waves and signals relevant to space-based instrumentation.
