Description: Wavelength is the distance from one crest to another, or from one trough to another, of a wave (which may be an electromagnetic wave, a sound wave, or any other wave).
Read moreWhat is wavelength and frequency?
In an equation, wavelength is represented by the Greek letter lambda (λ). Depending on the type of wave, wavelength can be measured in meters, centimeters, or nanometers (1 m = 109 nm). The frequency, represented by the Greek letter nu (ν), is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.
Read moreWhat is a wavelength example?
Wavelength is the distance between the crests of waves or a person’s general attitude. An example of wavelength is the distance between the crest of two waves . An example of wavelength is when you and another person share the same general attitude and can thus communicate well. The distance between crests of a wave.
Read moreHow do you calculate wavelength?
The wavelength is calculated from the wave speed and frequency by λ = wave speed/frequency , or λ = v / f.
