What units in metric system do you use to measure wave?

Answer 1

Waves have several measurable properties:

• Wavelength (λ): measured in micrometers, nanometers, or just meters.
• Speed or velocity: usually meters per second.
• Frequency: measured in Hertz, which is equivalent to (1 / seconds).
• Amplitude: depends on what type of wave. could be meters, if it is like a water wave, measuring the peak to trough distance, for example. Or volts or amperes for an electromagnetic wave.

These are some of the quantities that can be measured for a wave.

Answer 2

Wavelengths of electromagnetic waves are typically measured in meters in the metric system. Other units such as millimeters, micrometers, or nanometers are commonly used for smaller wavelengths.
