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
What is the distance between the tops of the waves called?
The wave length. This is also correct if you are referring to the distance between the trough of two waves.
What are the distance between the crests of waves called?
Wavelength.
What is the distance between the crests of two waves?
That distance is called the wavelength.
What is the distance between two crests is a waves?
The wave length.
What is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves is the wave's?
wavelength
What is the distance between identical points on two waves?
wavelength
What is the horizontal distance between crests of waves?
The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive corresponding points on a wave.Distance between two crests is the wavelength of a wave.
The distance between corresponding points on a waves cycle is called its?
Wavelength
What property of light is defined by the distance between identical points on adjacent waves?
The property of light defined by the distance between identical points on adjacent waves is called wavelength. Wavelength is typically measured from peak to peak or trough to trough of a wave. It determines the color of light and is inversely related to the frequency of the wave.
What do you call the horizontal distance between the highest or lowest points of two successive waves?
The crest?

What happens to the distance in arrival times between P waves and S waves as the distance for the earthquake increases?
surface waves
What is the distance between the tops of the waves called?
The wave length. This is also correct if you are referring to the distance between the trough of two waves.
What is the distance between the crest of waves is?
The wave's wavelength is the name is the distance between wave crest.
What are the distance between the crests of waves called?
Wavelength.
The distance between two waves is called?
A Wavelength.
