Presumably this is 5.97×10^-7 m, and I also assume you're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum or air. Note that frequency is measured in sec^-1 (=Hz), not m/sec.
Frequency and wavelength are related by c = λf where c is the speed of the wave, λ the wavelength and f the frequency. So for EM waves in vacuum or air, c = 3.00×10^8 m/s, and we have
f = c / λ = 3.00×10^8 / 5.97×10^-7 = 5.03×10^14 Hz.

wavelength = speed of light/frequency
speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
(unit of frequency is /sec)

wavelength has unit of length. What is it?
The formula is that the speed of light,
3x10^8 m/sec = wavelength * frequency.
