What is the distance between to repeating points of a wave?

It sounds like you are talking about the wavelength.


The distance between corresponding points on a wave cycle is called?

Wavelength.


What do you call the distance between two low points of a wave?

The distance between any two points in the same spot on a wave is a wavelength. Regardless if it is a trough or a crest, it is still a wave length. It is represent by the symbol lambda.


Difference of Wave front and wave length?

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


Wavelength is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves?

Wavelength is the distance between two sequential points of equal amplitude (same height) and phase of a wave. The waves we see and hear around us are of two forms. S waves are the sort of waves we would see on the surface of water. In these waves the medium (matter through which the waves travel) move back and forth orthogonally (90 degrees) to the direction of travel of the wave. In compression waves like sound waves (called P waves in seismology), the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. The wave length is the distance between two equivalent points in both the amount the medium is moving and the direction. In ocean waves this would be the back of one wave to the back of the next OR from the front of one wave to the front of the next OR from the top of one wave to the top of another
