Detailed explanation-1: -The wavelength () of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave. It is often easiest to measure this from the crest (top) of one wave to the crest of the next wave or the trough (bottom) of one wave to the trough of the next wave.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wavelength is the distance from one point on a wave to an identical point on the next, such as from crest to crest or from trough to trough. Waves can come in a wide range of lengths. The wavelength for an ocean wave might be around 120 meters (394 feet).
Detailed explanation-3: -Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive and equivalent points on a wave. Wavelength can be quantified by measuring the distance between two equivalent and consecutive points, such as the distance between two peaks or two troughs. The scientific symbol for wavelength is a Greek letter called lambda.
Detailed explanation-4: -The wavelength can be measured as the distance from crest to crest or from trough to trough. In fact, the wavelength of a wave can be measured as the distance from a point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next cycle of the wave.
