Wavelength in Doppler Effect and Wavelength Changes Formulas

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave, which changes when an object moves relative to an observer. And is denoted by λ. Wavelength is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wavelength is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Wavelength?

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave, which changes when an object moves relative to an observer. Wavelength is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wavelength is always positive.

Can the Wavelength be negative?

No, the Wavelength, measured in Length cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Wavelength?

Wavelength is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Wavelength can be measured.
