The wavelength measures the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, such as crest to crest or trough to trough. It is usually denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ) and is an important characteristic of a wave.

What does the wavelength of a light wave measure?

The wavelength of a light wave measures the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase, such as between two peaks or two troughs. It is a key characteristic of a light wave and is typically measured in units of length, such as meters or nanometers.

A speed and length of a wave decrease the wave does what?

If the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency of the wave will also decrease. This means the wave will have a lower pitch or tone.


How is water length and frequency of a wave related?

I don't know what's "water length" but I do know that the deeper the water are, the faster the wave goes. If you meant wave length and not water length, then the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency of the wave.


Does wave length affect wave speed?

No....
