What is a wavelength? Wavelength is the distance between two points

What is wavelength? Wavelength is the shortest distance between two points oscillating in the same phase or wavelength is TTTT the distance between two points that are crests (the point at which the wave sets its maximum value), generally between two repeating structures of the wave, at a certain time.

It is also said simply that the wavelength is the distance traveled by the wave in one cycle, but a period of the wave is calculated from the highest point of the wave and the wave propagates and back to that highest point is called the wavelength. wave. The wavelength is often referred to as Lambda (λ).

Formula for calculating electromagnetic wavelength

The formula for calculating electromagnetic wavelength includes two most common calculation methods:

The period as mentioned above is to calculate the travel time of a wavelength, so when there is a period (T) the wavelength (λ) is equal to the speed of the wave (v) times the period (T).

Frequency is the number of repetitions of the wavelength within one second so when there is a frequency (f) the wavelength (λ) is equal to the speed of the wave (v) divided by the frequency (f).

The speed of the wave (v) is the speed of propagation of vibrations in the medium, for each different medium, the speed of the wave is different, but the speed of the wave in a vacuum is the largest v = c (speed of light) = 300 000 000 m/s.

Radiation, x-rays with wavelength

Light rays and electromagnetic waves have different wavelengths and are divided into several categories including:

Radio wave: is a type of electronic radiation commonly used as radio.

Microwaves: are super high frequency waves.

Infrared: is electromagnetic radiation also known as red water.

Visible Light: Visible light is an electron beam with a wavelength that can be seen by humans.

Ultraviolet rays: are electromagnetic waves also known as ultraviolet rays or UV rays.

X-Rays: are electromagnetic waves also known as X-rays or X-rays.

Gamma ray: is an extremely high frequency electromagnetic or photon radiation.
