The symbol for wavelength is the lower case Greek letter lambda - which looks like an upside-down y. The unit of measurement depends on the kind of wave: electromagnetic waves, for example, have wavelengths ranging from 10^-11 metres (10 picometres) to 1 kilometre. Other waves can have even longer wavelengths.
