The wavelength refers to the distance between peaks of something that is periodic - such as sound. It is also the distance between the valleys or nulls. Low frequency waves like sound, are very long (fractions of an inch up to yards) compared to visible light which is has wavelengths in billionths of a meter. The length is determined by how fast the waves travel away from the source (velocity) divided by how fast the waves oscillate as you observe them passing a given point (the frequency in cycles per second). Using the low end of the FM radio band as an example, you have waves which travel in air at roughly light speed (~300 million meters per second) divided by 88 million cycles per second,or MegaHertz (MHz), which gives a wavelength of 3.4 meters. For a given velocity, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength is.
The wavelength of light is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a light wave. It is a measure of the length of one complete cycle of the wave.
Wave velocity is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium. It is determined by the frequency and wavelength of the wave, following the equation velocity = frequency x wavelength.
The distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next is known as the wavelength. It represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave, typically measured in meters or another unit of distance. The wavelength determines characteristics of the wave, such as its frequency and energy.
The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between a compression (high pressure) or rarefaction (low pressure) and the next compression or rarefaction. It is the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is typically measured in meters.
That distance is a definition, not a wave property. It's defined as the "wavelength".
A wavelength by definition is the amplitude of motion over one cycle

Pitch is how soft or hard (high or low) the frequency of a wavelength is. Thanks for using Answers!

I don't think that there is a wave with that name; it might refer to a wave that has a wavelength of approximately a meter.
There are different types of speed formulas: Speed= Wavelength(frequency) or Speed= Distance/Time
In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave-the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between a compression (high pressure) or rarefaction (low pressure) and the next compression or rarefaction. It is the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is typically measured in meters.
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.
It's a scientific term (mathematical) used to describe wave propagation. It is equal to 2π (2xPi) divided by the wavelength
