Wavefront: A line (crest of the wave) in which all the points along it are in phase Wavelength: the distance between two adjacent points that are in phase
Progressive Wave: 1) The wave profile is seen to move indicating that energy is being transported in the process. 2) If undamped, all points will oscillated with the same amplitude. 3) Points within a wavelength are out of phase. Two successive points that are in phase are exactly one wavelength apart. Stationary Wave : 1) The wave profile is stationary showing that there is no net transfer of energy from one end to another. 2) Points vibrate with different amplitudes ranging from zero (nodes) to a maximum (anti nodes) amplitude. 3) Points within one loop (half a wavelength) are in phase. However, they are in anti-phase with the vibrations of the points in the adjacent loop.
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.
The wavelength is the spatial period of the wave and it can be measured between any 2 points with the same phase. The maximum wavelength in the spectrum is 502 nm.

No, the wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between any two points which are in phase with each other. Two points in phase only when they are moving with the same velocity in the same direction and are at the same displacement from the mean position.
Two consecutive points in phase are one wavelength apart.
"the wavelength"
Wavelength is the distance between corresponding (identical) phase points of a wave, the period over which a wave or signal repeats. In electricity, it is the amplitude of a sine wave plotted over time.

We often see the peak and trough (maximum positive and maximum negative excursions) of the sine wave considered as points of momentarily constant voltage. Those points are at phase angles of 90 degrees and at 270 degrees.

In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave-the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. It is usually determined by considering the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase, such as crests, troughs, or zero crossings, and is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns.
The phase angle varies from 0 to 360 degrees as the wave cycles.
Electrical circuits are designed in two phase types. Either single phase or three phase. A single phase is one wave of electricity while three phase is three waves that are offset.
It means that each point of the wave has a constant amplitude - but the amplitude is not the same for all points. Certain points where the wave passes - the nodes - have ZERO amplitude.This usually happens when the wave interferes with itself, for example, when the wave is reflected and goes back and forth.
