I suppose that you are asking what happens if you use 50 Hz equipment on a 60 Hz source
The magnetic flux is proportional to frequency so if you maintain the voltage the flux increases20% which may saturate iron and overheat the appliance.

If the internal circuitry requires the power line to provide the timebase (60 Hz or 50 Hz) you will have a problem.
If the 60 Hz device is plugged into a 50 Hz source, and you did not pay attention to the doubling of the voltage (220 vs 110 VAC), you have a burned up appliance.
If the device from a 60Hz device has a transformer in it (and it will, probably), in a 50 Hz environment it will heat up more, but this is probably not a big to do.
Your best bet is to buy a new device, or if possible, use a wall wart that is 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, and you can take it anywhere!

a 50 hertz appliance plugged into a 60hz supply will run slightly faster or hotter.the opposite effect would take place if operated the other way round.
