Question
what is the wavelength of a wave? the distance between a given point on two neighboring waves the height of a wave the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time the number of waves passing a specific point
Wavelength is defined as the distance between a given point on two neighboring waves. For example, in a sine - wave, it can be measured from crest to crest or trough to trough. The height of a wave is called amplitude. The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time is related to wave speed ($v = \frac{d}{t}$). The number of waves passing a specific point is the frequency ($f=\frac{n}{t}$).
