Answer:

Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave properties are elements we can measure for ANY wave. These properties are: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, and velocity.

Wavelength is one way of measuring the size of waves. It is the distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves, usually measured in meters. The wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests

Answer:

Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between corresponding points of adjacent waves is known as the wavelength.

In a wave motion, the point at which displacement is at maximum is known as the crest of the wave while the point where the displacement is at minimum is known as the trough of the the wave.

The distance between these two successive crest and trough of he wave as known as its wavelength.

Wavelength can be expressed as a function of frequency and velocity of a wave.
