In physics, the meaning of a wave is more widespread where it expresses many types of vibrations or oscillations. Under this, several types of wave speed, mechanical, electromagnetic, thermal, etc. are studied. Energy is transported from one place to another by waves. The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two corresponding points on the back-to-back cycles of a wave. This can be measured between two crests of a wave or two troughs of a wave. The wavelength is usually represented in physics by the Greek letter lambda (λ). In a continuous wave, the vibration of the particles located at certain places is the least (zero), these are called filtration. Let's know more about Waves Properties.
