Source sentences:
text: On a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is measured as the distance between the middles of two compressions, or the middles of two expansions.
text: wavelength is the length of a single cycle of a wave, as measured by the distance between one peak or trough of a wave and the next; it is often designated in physics as λ, and corresponds to the velocity of the wave divided by its frequency .
text: Sound waves are longitudinal waves; their wavelength can be measured as the distance between two successive compressions (higher pressure and density regions) or two successive compressions (lower pressure and density regions).
