Hertz is a measurement of wavelength. It is the number of cycles in a second. You can also measure wavelength by the length of the wave moving at the speed of light. 3.5 MHZ (Mega Hertz) is about 80 meters long.
The meter (m) and all of its related units (kilometer, decimeter, centimeter, millimeter, nanometer). Which one you use depends on the proportion of the wave measured. Radio wavelengths range from 100 km down to 1 mm for instance.
The answer depends on the kind of waves. Electromagnetic waves such as radio waves would be measured in megametres (10^6 metres) whereas gamma rays would be measured in picometres (10^-12 metres). Audible sound waves have wavelengths between 17 metres and 17 millimetres.
Well wavelength is a length, I would measure it in metres, but you may measure it in feet, yards, miles or basically anything that you can measure length with!
meters are the official unit - and by definition - multiples of a meter - so 10-9 or nanometers etc
Usually nanometres, but also Angstrom units
light years
No. Certain wavelengths of light are needed for photosynthesis. The appropriate wavelengths are not present in purely thermal energy.
No, the wavelengths are between visible light(around 400-600nm i guess)with the exception of the wavelength of green light.
Wavelengths of visible light are measured in nanometres. different colours are at different wavelengths. The range runs from violet at around 380nm to red at around 750nm.
Standard units are more commonly used than non standard units. Also, many of the conversion factors, such as the Universal Gravitational Constant or the Speed of Light, are in standard units and, if your measurements were not in appropriate units, you would need to convert.

Square units are used to measure the area of something.
simply units....
meters, feet, and even miles are way too small to measure distances in space. astronomical units are mostly used to measure distances in our solar system. light years are used to measure the distances of things further away from our solar system.
The SI unit is meter. But nanometer and angstrom are commonly used units to measure the wavelength of light.
measuring wavelengths of light
A candela is a unit of measurement for light sources and light emissions. Light beams projects different color at different wavelengths, and a candela is used to measure the intensity of the light.
Refractometers are used to measure the of a pure substance or mixture. Every has a unique refractive index that can be determined accurately. Refractive indices vary with composition as well as wavelengths of light, and are usually noted along with their respective wavelengths.
Units such as light years and astronomical units are useful because they can be used to measure very large distances without yielding extremely large numbers.
Common units used in astronomy include astronomical unit; light-year; parsec.
