The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between successive crests.
If you measure the distance between any two successive or consecutive crests in case of transverse wave is called the wavelength. If we get the distance between any two crests that will be definitely an integral multiple of the wavelength. The same in case of longitudinal waves. The distance between two successive rarefactions is known to be the wavelength.
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
In physics, wavelength is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave It is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).Sound waves are longitudinal waves; their wavelength can be measured as the distance between two successive compressions (higher pressure and density regions) or two successive compressions (lower pressure and density regions). Mathematically : wavelength of sound wave = speed of the wave / frequency where wavelength is measured in meters speed is measured meters/second frequency is measured is Hz or second-1

Well the wavelength is the distance between succesive crests, or troughs on a transverse wave is the distance between consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a longitudinal wave. the frequency can is the time between consecutive crest on a transverse wave and the time between consecutive rarefactions or compressions on a longitudinal wave. the amplitude on a transverse wave is the distance between a crest and the zero value of the wave, not till the trough. on a longitudinal wave the amplitidue is measured by the strength of the rarefactions or compressions as compared to the natural state of the propagation medium. so for a longidudinal wave travelling throught the air; if the compression pressure is 4 bar the amplitude would be greater than if the compression pressure was 3 bar, because the air's natural pressure is 1 bar. in reality things like sound waves have much less compression pressure.

There are 30 chest compressions between ventilation's for 1-rescuer CPR.
The difference between the successive values on a scale is an interval.
The wavelength of a signal is calculated by c/f. C is the velocity of the wave and f the frequency of the signal. Wavelength is defined as the distance between any two successive crests or troughs in case of a mechanical wave. In case of longitudinal wave, the distance between two successive compressions or rarefactions will be the wavelength. In case of electromagnetic wave c/f will be the wavelength
