Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is WaveLength.
About WaveLength:
- Wavelength is defined as the distance between the Identical points (Crests) in the cycles of a waveform signal which propagated in space or along a wire. In Wireless Systems, this length is usually measured in Centimeters (cm), Millimeters (mm), and Meters (m). It is denoted by the Greek letter Lambda (λ).
- In a simple manner, if we defined the Wavelength so, the distance between two successive Crest and Trough of a wave. Wavelength is always measured in the direction of the wave. The formula of the Wavelength is represented by (λ =V/F).
- It is traveled from one(1) Crest wave to another wave and from one(1) Trough wave to another of a wave,( Electromagnetic wave, Sound wave, or any other Wave). The Crest is known as the (Highest point) of the wave and the Trough is known as the (Lowest point) of the wave.
- The wavelength of light varies with Colors, every color has a different wavelength. Like Red color has the (longest wavelength) and Violet has the (least wavelength).
- Wavelength is inversely proportional to Frequency. This means the (Longer) the wavelength, the (Shorter) the Frequency. In another way, (Shorter) the wavelength, (Higher) will be the Frequency.

Notes:
- The Amplitude is defined as the maximum extent of an Oscillation or Vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of Equilibrium. It is denoted as (A). Its SI unit is the meter (m).
- Frequency is defined as the rate at which something occurs over a particular (period of time). It is denoted as (F) and the unit is Hertz.
- Wave Number is defined as the number of Waves in a unit distance travels by the sound wave. Its unit is measured in meters (1/m).
