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 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.

Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.


Does higher temperature mean short wavelength?

No, higher temperature does not necessarily mean shorter wavelength. In the context of radiation, higher temperature typically means higher frequency and shorter wavelength, according to Wien's Displacement Law. However, in general physics, temperature and wavelength are not directly related.

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 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".


What does 532 wavelength mean in laser?

A laser with a 532 nm wavelength refers to a green laser beam. The number 532 nm indicates the specific wavelength of light that the laser emits, measured in nanometers. This wavelength is in the visible spectrum of light and is commonly used in applications such as laser pointers, laser light shows, and scientific research.
