Answer 2

The distance between two immediate crests or troughs in a wave is called 'wavelength'.

• A crest in a wave is the maximum displacement of the medium upward from its rest position, while a trough is the maximum displacement of the medium downward.
• Wavelength is denoted by the Greek letter 'lambda' (λ) and its is generally equal to the velocity of the medium over its frequency.
• Unit used to determine wavelength of a wave is nanometre (nm) or in angstrom for radiations.
• Electromagnetic waves are arranged according to their increasing wavelength with gamma rays having the lowest and radio waves having the highest wavelength.
• A wave with higher wavelength and lower frequency has a better penetrating power.
