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.
That is the same as the wavelength, or the definition of a wavelength.
It is equal to wavelength.
Pitch is how soft or hard (high or low) the frequency of a wavelength is. Thanks for using Answers!
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

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.
In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave-the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
There are different types of speed formulas: Speed= Wavelength(frequency) or Speed= Distance/Time
The wavelength of a wave would double if the frequency was cut in half. Wavelength=c/frequency where c equals the speed of light.
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
