The distance between two peaks in an electromagnetic wave is called the wavelength. It is typically measured in meters.

An example of wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks of a wave, such as the distance between two successive crests of an ocean wave or two peaks of a sound wave. In electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength is the distance between two successive peaks of the wave, like the distance between two peaks of a light wave.
The distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave is called the wavelength.
The distance between two wave peaks in a tsunami is called the wavelength. It represents the distance between consecutive crests or troughs of the wave.
The average distance between wave peaks, also known as the wavelength, varies depending on the type of wave. For ocean waves, the average wavelength ranges from about 30 meters to 150 meters. In electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, the average wavelength can range from fractions of a millimeter to kilometers.
The distance between two wavelengths is called the wavelength interval. This refers to the change in wavelength between two consecutive points or peaks in a wave cycle.
