Wavelength (λ) — Science definition
Defined in 2 courses:
- The distance between two matching points on a wave, like crest to crest. (Physical Science: Matter, Forces & Energy)
- The distance between two consecutive matching points on a wave, such as crest to crest, measured in meters. (Physics & Environmental Science)
