### wavelength

is the wavelength the distance between one peak of the wave to the next peak?

### Re: wavelength

Yes, that's correct. The units for wavelength is m (or, more commonly nm)

### Re: wavelength

Yes! The wavelength is the distance from one peak of the wave to the other peak. A lower wavelength (100) has a higher frequency and a higher wavelength has a lower frequency (since they are inversely proportional).

### Re: wavelength

The wavelength is the distance from one peak of the wave to the other peak, the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency

### Re: wavelength

one wavelength equals the distance between two successive wave crests or troughs.
