Wavelength in Water Wave Mechanics Formulas

Wavelength is the horizontal distance between successive crests (or troughs) of a wave. It provides crucial information about the size and shape of waves propagating in water bodies. And is denoted by λ. Wavelength is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wavelength is always negative.
