A wavelength is a measure of the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a wave. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelengths range from 10^-11 to 10^3 metres - a factor of 100 trillion. There is, therefore, no single instrument which can be used to measure across such a range.

Is wavelength measured in hertz or meters?
Usually, no. The wavelength of visible light is usually measured in nanometers. Only larger forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, are measured in meters.
What units is wavelength measured in usually?
Answer - meters or derivations of meters e.g micrometers, nanometers etc
What is The wavelength of a transverse wave is often measured from?
Crest to trough
What is the unit used to measure radiant energy?
Radiant energy does not exist in quantum units because radiant energy has no wavelength
What is a wavelength measured in?
By an equation. E=MC^2, or energy of a particle equals its mass times the speed of light squared. V=C/(lambda), or frequency equals the speed of light divided by wavelength. The easiest way is using Planck's constant, which allows you to find frequency and then, by the equations above, wavelength, based on energy calculated by any means.
Is wavelength measured in hertz or meters?
Usually, no. The wavelength of visible light is usually measured in nanometers. Only larger forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, are measured in meters.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
No. The wavelength is measured from crest to crest.
What is music measured by?
Wavelength, amplitude and harmonics
What is meant by vacuum wavelength?
Vacuum wavelength is the wavelength that is measured if the wave is passing through a vacuum. To get the wavelength in a medium you need to know the refractive index.
In what field is De Broglie wavelength being measured?
The De Broglie Wavelength is being measured in the electromagnetic fields. The De Broglie Wavelength theory is related to Bohr's Quantum Theory and is about the energy of atom particles.
How many crests are there in one wavelength?
usually 1 - a crest is the highest tip of a wavelength. But if the wavelength is measured from the highest point them in 1 wavelength there will be 2 crests
How many meters in a wavelength?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance from the crest to the next crest of a wave, usually measured in metres. A wavelength is not a unit.
How is the path length of an infrared cell measured?
in wavelength
When light is measured by the distance from crest to crest what is it?
Wavelength
What units is wavelength measured in usually?
Answer - meters or derivations of meters e.g micrometers, nanometers etc
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 is measured from crest to crest of a transverse wave?
That would be the wavelength, it can also be measured from trough to trough.
