It does feel a little odd that something the size of 5.29×10⁻¹¹ meter can create something 10 billion times larger.
I mean, I understand how and why, but it feels odd.

But the wavelength of sound it makes at 20Hz is approximately 17 meter.
Wavelength is merely a human conceptualization. If we reconceptialize it as peak-to-peak interval it suddenly stops being length and becomes a time instead
From that standpoint I can confidently say that wavelength is meaningful for the sound example, but not so much for light. Someone more knowledgeable than me would probably offer better insight.
