Wavelength

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find the rhythm of footsteps on a crowded sidewalk, where you're trying to match your pace with others to avoid collisions. Much like gauging the distance between each step to maintain a smooth walk, wavelength is about measuring the distance between the peaks of each wave. Just as consistent spacing between your steps helps you move fluidly, the consistent distance between wave crests determines the wave's frequency and energy, ensuring it travels smoothly through its medium.
