Question

The wavelength of a wave is 2) A) the distance between two adjacent peaks of the wave. B) equal to the speed of the wave times the wave's frequency. C) the distance between a peak of the wave and the next trough. D) how strong the wave is. E) the distance between where the wave is emitted and where it is absorbed.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength = the distance between two adjacent peaks of the wave.

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two adjacent peaks of the wave or it is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs. It is denoted by $\lambda$. Its SI unit is meters.

The relation between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

v is the speed

So, the correct option is (a). " the distance between two adjacent peaks of the wave".
