- 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
- Wavelength Calculator λ = v f
Wavelength is the distance between 2 identical points on a sinusoidal wave If you know the frequency of a wave traveling through a medium you can calculate how far it is between each crest of the wave or each trough of the wave

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
- 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)
- What Is Wavelength? - BYJUS
The wavelength of light is defined as “The distance between the two successive crests or troughs of the light wave” It is denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ)
