Wavelength of wave is defined as
Correct answer: A. distance between two consecutive crests
- A. distance between two consecutive crests
- B. distance between two alternate crest
- C. distance between two alternate rough
- D. distance between two crest and two trough
Explanation
Distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) is the definition of wavelength.

About Waves
Progressive waves transfer energy through oscillations, with wavelength, frequency, amplitude and wave speed related by v = fλ; sound speed depends on the medium. Superposition produces interference and stationary waves in strings and organ pipes, while simple harmonic motion describes the oscillation itself and must be distinguished from wave propagation.
