Solution

Wavelength is defined as the distance from a particular height on the wave to the next spot on the wave where it is at the same height and going in the same direction. Usually it is measured in meters, just like any length.
On a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is measured as the distance between the middles of two compressions, or the middles of two expansions. On a transverse wave, the wavelength is measured as the distance between the middles of two crests or the middles of two troughs.
