Wavelength
lang:""
For a monochromatic wave, "wavelength" is the distance between two successive points in a direction perpendicular to the wavefront where at a given instant the phase differs by \(2\pi\). The wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. The SI unit of wavelength is the meter.

\(\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}\), where \(\lambda\) is the wave length, \(\nu\) is the frequency, and \(c\) is the speed of light in the medium.
