The wavelength is the distance between two points which are in the same phase. For example, for a water wave, you could use the distance from one peak to the next. Similarly for other waves, you can use the distance from one maximum (or minimum) of whatever the wave is about, to the next.

What property of a wave is defined as the length of time between pulses?
The property of a wave defined as the length of time between pulses is called the period. It is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to pass a given point. Period is measured in seconds.
What are wave length and wave height?
Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms. Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.
How is the wavelength of a wave defined?
The wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase, such as two crests or two troughs. It is usually represented by the symbol λ and measured in units of length, such as meters or nanometers. It indicates the distance a wave travels in one complete cycle.
What is wave length of shock waves?
shock waves do not have a well defined wavelength, they most closely resemble a step function.
Which property of a wave is defined as the length of time between pulses?
The length of time between pulses is the "pulse repetition rate". The length of time between consecutive waves is the "period". It's the reciprocal of the frequency.
What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What is meant by wavelength?
Defined as the distance or length between one peak of a wave of light, heat or other energy and the next corresponding peak.
What is the wave base of a wave with a height of 5 feet and wave length of 10 feet?
The wave base is typically defined as the depth at which the wave's energy significantly diminishes, generally about half the wavelength. For a wave with a wavelength of 10 feet, the wave base would be approximately 5 feet. This means that below this depth, the effects of the surface wave are minimal.
What is the length of full wave?
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.
What type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
How are the period and the frequency of a wave reletated?
The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. While, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.
