Question

What is a Wavelength

Answer 1

I assume that we’re talking about physics, so allow me to explain.

Wavelengths are the distance between two crest (or trough) in a wave. It is usually measured between two easily identifiable points, like two adjacent crests in a waveform.

Vocabulary:

Crest - the highest point in a wave

Trough - the lowest point in a wave
