Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The characteristic defined as the distance traveled by a wave crest in a given time is called wavelength. Wavelength is typically represented by the Greek letter lambda (λ) and is usually measured in meters. To find the wavelength of a wave, you need to measure the distance between two consecutive wave crests or troughs. This can be done by marking a point on the wave and measuring the distance to the corresponding point on the next wave crest or trough. The symbol λ represents the wavelength in mathematical equations and is a crucial parameter in understanding the behavior and properties of waves.
