What is wavelength used for?

Antenna design (antenna ≈ λ/4 or λ/2), optical filters, and understanding electromagnetic spectrum.

What's the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

They're inversely related: wavelength × frequency = wave speed. For sound in air: wavelength (m) ≈ 343 / frequency (Hz).

Hz (cycles per second) is universal for waves and oscillations. RPM (revolutions per minute) is more intuitive for rotating machinery and engines.
