A wavelength of 10cm equates to a frequency of 3 GHz,
(3 GHz = 3000 MHz).
PS
Pedants will say it's actually 2.99793 GHz, (but 3 GHz is as near as dammit).
Conversion is:
Frequency = 3 X 10^8 divided by the wavelength.

10cm wavelengths are in the X band. Generally in the neighbourhood of 10GHz.
Speed of microwaves is (roughly) the speed of light.

Dave,
You fail to state a unit of measurement.
I know what you mean, but if you stick to 186,000 miles per second, well, that will do.
594mm is pure green, but my favourite is around 680mm in wavelength.
Specify the units, so we can understand.

frequency=c\the wavelength so frequency=300000000m\s/0.1m=3Ghz
