- Wavelength - Wikipedia
Wavelength is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns [3][4] The inverse of the wavelength is called the spatial frequency
- Wavelength | Definition, Formula, Symbol | Britannica
Wavelength is usually denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ); it is equal to the speed (v) of a wave train in a medium divided by its frequency (f): λ = v f

The distance between one crest (or trough) of one wave and the next is the wavelength of the wave In equations, wavelength is indicated using the Greek letter lambda (λ)
- Wavelength - Center for Science Education
The wavelength of a wave describes how long the wave is The distance from the "crest" (top) of one wave to the crest of the next wave is the wavelength Alternately, we can measure from the "trough" (bottom) of one wave to the trough of the next wave and get the same value for the wavelength
- What is a wavelength? - HowStuffWorks
The wavelength is calculated by determining the distance between corresponding points on consecutive waves Normally this is done by measuring from peak to peak or from trough to trough
- Wavelength - Physics Book
Wavelength is usually determined by measuring the distance between repeating patterns Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter, lambda (λ), and the SI unit of wavelength is nanometers (nm)

A longer wavelength means the waves are spread out, while a shorter wavelength means the waves are closer together It is an important property of sound waves, light waves, water waves, and many other types of waves
