Strictly speaking, if somebody just looked at the words in your question, the plain answer would be "You don't; these units measure different quantities."
But I suspect that you're thinking about frequency and wavelength of radio stations, light, or x-rays. Maybe even sound waves, which also have frequency and wavelength. If that's what you're thinking about then the conversion is easy:
(Wavelength) = (speed) divided by (frequency), and (frequency) = (speed) divided by (wavelength)
Just remember that the speed and wavelength must both be in the same units to do the arithmetic.
Examples:
1). I'm a ham radio operator and I enjoy operating in the 10-meter amateur band. What frequency do I transmit when I do that ?
The speed of light (and radio and all other electromagnetic radiation) is about 300 million meters per second.
Frequency = speed / wavelength = 300,000,000 / 10 = 30,000,000 Hertz = 30 MEGA Hz
2). I work with microwave radio equipment at operates at around 6 GHz (6 billion Hertz). What's the wavelength ?
Wavelength = speed / frequency = 300,000,000 / 6,000,000,000 = 0.05 meters = 5 centimeters
3). My sister teaches children to play the Flute. When the flute plays a sustained 'A' note ... with frequency 440 Hz ... what is the wavelength of the sound in the room ?
Speed of sound = roughly 1125 ft per second depending on temperature and other things.
Wavelength = speed / frequency = 1125 / 440 = 2.56 feet

What is 262 Hz in meters?
Hertz is a unit of frequency, not a unit of length like the meter. You can't convert that.
Is there a Measure to convert 60 hz into 50 hz?
There is nothing to convert. You are using the same unit of measurement. A hertz is a hertz, all you are dealing with is 10 less Hertz. 60 Hertz - 10 Hertz = 50 Hertz The difference is 10 Hertz. The math there is just to give you a clear example and illustrate my point. What you are asking for is similar to someone asking "how do you convert miles to miles" or "how do I convert inches to inches".
How do you convert meters per second to hertz?
Hertz are a measurement of frequency, where meters per second is a measurement of velocity (speed). The two cannot be converted. Hertz is cycles per second, like a radio wave or sound wave. An example is a radio station transmitting on 10.0 MegaHertz (MHz) This indicates the radio wave oscillates 10 Million times per second. Meters per second can be used to measure, for example, the velocity of a car or bullet. Trying to convert frequency to speed would be like trying to convert Miles per hour to liters... it doesn't work.
How do you convert 349.23 hertz to centimeters?
Centimeter is a unit of length, Hertz is a unit of frequency; any conversion is possible.
How can you convert 0.056915 meters to micrometers?
convert 0.056915 meters to micrometers
How do you convert hertz into meters?
You don't. Hertz and meters measure two completely different things.
What is 262 Hz in meters?
Hertz is a unit of frequency, not a unit of length like the meter. You can't convert that.
If blue light has a frequency of 6.98 10 14 hertz what is the wavelength in nanometers?
Just divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in hertz) - that will give you the wavelength (in meters). You can then convert that to nm.
How do you convert kHz to hertz?
kHz means 1000 hertz. To convert from kHz to hz, multiply the number of kHz by 1000 and the product will be in hertz.
Is there a Measure to convert 60 hz into 50 hz?
There is nothing to convert. You are using the same unit of measurement. A hertz is a hertz, all you are dealing with is 10 less Hertz. 60 Hertz - 10 Hertz = 50 Hertz The difference is 10 Hertz. The math there is just to give you a clear example and illustrate my point.

Convert hertz into meters per second?
"Hertz" is a unit of frequency. In some laboratory tests in transportation engineering hertz is used to simulate the vehicle's speed. For instance 8 hertz roughly resembles speed of 35mph. The loading provided is 8 hertz actually which simulates a car going at a speed of 35 mph.
How do you convert meters per second to hertz?
Hertz are a measurement of frequency, where meters per second is a measurement of velocity (speed). The two cannot be converted. Hertz is cycles per second, like a radio wave or sound wave. An example is a radio station transmitting on 10.0 MegaHertz (MHz) This indicates the radio wave oscillates 10 Million times per second.

How do you convert count per second to hertz?
the number of hertz = count per second
How many meters in a hertz?
They aren't comparable. "Meter" is a length, while "Hertz" is a frequency.
What unit do you get when you multiply hertz by meters?
You get a speed. If the 'Hertz' is the frequency of a particular wave, and the 'meters' is the wavelength of the same wave, then their product is the speed of that wave.
How do you convert seconds to hertz?
Hertz are a frquency, so if you have 1 hertz it is 1 hertz/second if you have 2 hertz =2 hertz second and so on, so a Intel processor at 2.4ghz would be 2.4 billion hertz a second.
What is the frequency of light in fused quartz if the wavelength in vacuum is 500nm?
Divide the speed of light in a vacuum (in meters/second) by the wavelength (which you must convert to meters); that will give you the frequency in hertz. The frequency will be the same for different substances.
