The wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of a wave, that is the 'distance' over which the wave's shape repeats. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (?).

Wave length is a measure that is used to determine different pitches and colors. Red has a longer wave length then blue and a higher pitch has a more compact wave length then a low pitch. It is basically a measurement of the visible and auditory stimulus around us.
