Wave length:
The distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
 
 
 
The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

the distance between two succesive crust or trough is called wavelength
 
In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats, and the inverse of the spatial frequency.

Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.

the distance between crest to crest or trough to trough is called wave length it is represented as lambda
