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.

What does wavelength mean in science?
Wavelength is the distance between wave crests.
What do you mean by using the word wavelength?
The word "wavelength" refers to the frequency of a wave. Wavelength is measured in hertz; the number of vibrations per second.
What does nm in calculation of ultraviolet rays mean?
nm = nanometers It is a measure of the wavelength of the light, with energy inversely proportional to the wavelength: E = h / wavelength
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
What is distance between one peak and the next in a wave?
If you mean between two positive, or two negative, peaks of an electrical wave, it's the wavelength. If it's a pressure wave, "peak" is usually taken to mean "maximum pressure", so it would be between "peaks".
When they say Increasing wavelength Referring to spectrum do they mean short wavelengths?
increasing wavelength means shorter frequency.
Wavelength of sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has not a wavelenth. The most important wavelength of sodium is 589,29 nm (the mean of D1 and D2 lines).
Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?
No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.
What is mean by cutoff wavelength .simple definiion?
It is the range of wavelength at which the energy flowing through the system begins to reduce or attenuated. In case of devices, it is the wavelength at which interruption or cessation in power takes place.
What does the lambda symbol in math mean?
Lambda is usually specified to mean wavelength in mathematics and physics.
What is the scientific name for green?
If you mean wavelength, 510 nanometres (510nm)
What does mm mean on a laser pointer?
Millimeter and it shows the wavelength of the laser.
