Wavelenght

A physical value, homogeneous to length, that is used to characterise periodical phenomena. A wave is a physical phenomenon which propagates and is identically reproduced slightly later in time and slightly further in space. Wavelength is the shortest distance between two strictly identical points of a wave at a given time. When an electromagnetic wave propagates in vacuum, wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.
