| wave length |
In simple terms, the horizontal distance between successive wave crests measured perpendicular to the crests. However, in a random sea, a variety of interpretations of this are possible. A commonly used definition is the so-called zero-upcrossing length, which is the horizontal distance between two successive upcrossings of the mean water level. See wave frequency, wave height, wave period.

| wave length |
The least distance between particles moving in the same phase of oscillation of a wave. In oceanography, it is the horizontal distance between the highest parts of two successive wave crests above the still water level, separated by a trough that is below the still water level, and it is measured in meters.

| wave length |
The horizontal distance between similar points on two successive waves (for example, crest to crest or trough to trough), measured in the direction of wave travel.

| wave length |
In the line of progression of a wave, the distance from one point on the wave to the same point on the next wave. The length of a wave determines whether or not the wave is a visible light, x-ray, gamma, or radio wave.
