What is the wavelength of a wave?

1 answer

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive points of the same phase in a wave, such as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave. It is typically denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ) and is measured in units of length, such as meters or nanometers.
