Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave, such as the distance between two parts of a crest is called ____
A
wave
B
wavelength
C
visible light
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The highest surface part of a wave is called the crest, and the lowest part is the trough. The vertical distance between the crest and the trough is the wave height. The horizontal distance between two adjacent crests or troughs is known as the wavelength.

Detailed explanation-2: -The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its wavelength, such as when measuring the distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave, and between compressions in a longitudinal wave.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Detailed explanation-5: -The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs on a transverse wave.

Detailed explanation-6: -Wavelength is the distance between identical points (adjacent crests) in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire. In wireless systems, this length is usually specified in meters (m), centimeters (cm) or millimeters (mm).
