OCR: WAVELENGTH .............................................. WAVELENGTH IS THE distance between successive peaks (or any other two corresponding points, of a wave.) The distance between successive peaks of a light wave determines its color. (The greater the distance is, the redder the light will be; the shorter the distance is, the bluer the light will be.)
