Wavelength is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves?

Answer 1

Wavelength is the distance between two sequential points of equal amplitude (same height) and phase of a wave.

The waves we see and hear around us are of two forms. S waves are the sort of waves we would see on the surface of water. In these waves the medium (matter through which the waves travel) move back and forth orthogonally (90 degrees) to the direction of travel of the wave. In compression waves like sound waves (called P waves in seismology), the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.

The wave length is the distance between two equivalent points in both the amount the medium is moving and the direction. In ocean waves this would be the back of one wave to the back of the next OR from the front of one wave to the front of the next OR from the top of one wave to the top of another

Answer 2

The wavelength of a wave is the shortest distance between two equivalent points on a wave. For example, it is the distance between two adjacent peaks on a wave.

An example of this can be seen in the sin(x) wave. The wavelength of the wave would be the distance between the points at Pi/2 and 5Pi/2, which is 2Pi. This can be calculated between any 2 equivalent points on a wave, AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE SAME y-axis VALUE and THERE ARE NO EQUIVALENT POINTS BETWEEN THE TWO!!!

I hope this helps you.

Answer 3

The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests.

Answer 4

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two nodes or antinodes if you have interference. You can also count two zero crossings.

Answer 5

Neighboring maxima or minima in amplitude.

Answer 6

Wavelength is the distance between the crest of two adjacent waves. The crest is the highest point on each wave.

Answer 7

Measuring the distance between two nodes or antinodes that are formed during a wave cycle will give the wavelength of a wave. Some waves have short wavelengths while others have long ones.

Answer 8

its wave because the more energy it gets the better is

Answer 9

one is stronger and one is weaker.
