Noun

 * 1) The length of a single cycle of a wave, as measured by the distance between one peak or trough of a wave and the next; it is often designated in physics as λ, and corresponds to the velocity of the wave divided by its frequency.

Derived terms

 * shortwave
 * mediumwave
 * longwave
 * on the same wavelength
