Blank verse is poetry with a regular meter but no rhyme.
Unrhymed iambic pentameter is a specific type of blank verse. "Pentameter" means each line of poetry has 5 feet. In poetry, a "foot" is a small group of syllables. In English, "iambic" means each foot has two syllables, an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (different for Latin and other languages).

Where is there iambic pentameter in act 1 of Macbeth?
Start with Act 1 Scene 2. Such lines as "Say to the king the knowledge of the broil", "For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name)" or "So well thy words become thee as thy wounds" are perfect iambic pentameter. Many lines are imperfect for some reason or other (too many or too few syllables, trochees changed for iambs, feminine endings etc.) but the rhythm as a whole is iambic. You can do the same with scene 3 or indeed scenes 4 to 7--they are full of iambic pentameter. Watch out for the witches, though, because they usually speak four feet to the line.
Does Shakespeare uses 11 syllables for each line in Romeo and Juliet?
No, he usually uses ten syllables. The name of the verse line which Shakespeare uses in Romeo and Juliet, and in the rest of his plays, is iambic pentameter. "Iambic" because the dominant foot is an iamb, an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. "Pentameter" because there are five feet in every line. Here an example, with a vertical rule between each foot and the stressed syllables capitalized: "In fair Verona, where we lay our scene" in FAIR | verON | a WHERE | we LAY | our SCENE
Is the writer by Richard Wilbur an example of iambic pentameter?
No. It does not follow a strict rhythmic pattern. It tends toward anapests, especially in the first 15 lines, where the rhythm may suggest an echo of the typing. It's not pentameter; the shorter lines (the first and third in each stanza) tend to be trimeter. Sorry about all the "tend" answers, but while the poem is heavily rhythmic, it does not stick to a meter that has a name.
