When to use rad/s vs RPM?

RPM for practical motor specs. Rad/s for physics calculations. Engineering may use either.

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.
