Distance between the same point on two successive waves; distance from crest to crest or trough to trough for two consecutive waves.

• wavelength
• amplitude
• frequency
• transverse wave
• electromagnetic wave

The height of a wave measured from rest to the top of the crest or bottom of the trough of the wave; often used to describe volume of sound or intensity of light.
