The wavelength is a fundamental property of a mechanical wave. Which of the following is true about the wavelength of a mechanical wave? It can be divided by a frequency to determine speed. It is the distance from crest to trough. It measures the distance that the medium has travelled. It is the distance over which a vibration repeats itself.
