Wavelength refers to the distance between successive peaks (or troughs) in a repeating wave pattern, typically measured in meters.
It’s a fundamental concept in physics, particularly in the study of wave phenomena like light, sound, and electromagnetic waves. Wavelength determines the color of light, pitch of sound, and frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
Shorter wavelengths are associated with higher energy and frequency, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy and frequency. Understanding wavelength is crucial in fields like optics, acoustics, and telecommunications for various applications, including designing antennas and creating color displays.
