the distance between a point on a wave of energy and a similar point on the next wave
Wavelength refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or low points of a wave, typically measured in meters. In terms of radio, television, or light waves, it determines the size of the wave and is closely related to the frequency. A longer wavelength corresponds to a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency. Wavelength affects how waves travel, with longer wavelengths able to travel further and penetrate obstacles more easily, while shorter wavelengths offer higher resolution but may not travel as far.
- In physics, wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a wave.
在物理学中，波长是波的两个连续波峰（或波谷）之间的距离。
- The color of light is determined by its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths appearing blue and longer wavelengths appearing red.
光的颜色由其波长决定，波长较短的光呈现蓝色，波长较长的光呈现红色。
- The wavelength of a radio wave determines its frequency and how it interacts with antennas.
无线电波的波长决定了它的频率以及它如何与天线相互作用。
- Oceanographers study the wavelength of ocean waves to understand their behavior and predict coastal erosion.
海洋学家研究海洋波的波长以了解其行为并预测海岸侵蚀。
- The wavelength of sound waves affects the pitch of the sound, with shorter wavelengths producing higher pitches.
声波的波长影响声音的音调，波长越短，音调越高。

- The team members were on the same wavelength and collaborated smoothly.
- She and her friend were always on the same wavelength.
- The couple seemed on the same wavelength during the discussion.
- Creative partners who operate on the same wavelength produce cohesive work.
