Question

What does wavelength mean?

Answer 1

Wavelength

1. The distance between identical points in the adjacent cycles of crests of a wave is called a wavelength.
2. Wavelength is the property of a wave.
3. Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency of a wave.
4. A wavelength is a measurement of how far a wave travels in one direction.
5. The wavelength is measured in units of length such as meters and centimeters.
6. Using the velocity and frequency of a wave, the wavelength can be calculated
   $\lambda =\frac{v}{f}$.
   Where, $v$ is the velocity of the wave in the medium and $f$ is the frequency of the wave.
