Detailed Solution

A wavelength is a distance between consecutive compression and rarefaction of the wave.
A longitudinal wave travels in the form of compressions and rarefactions. Wavelength is the distance between consecutive compression and rarefaction. Its unit is metre(m). As shown in the figure, compression is the part of the wave in which particles of the medium are closer, and there is a decrease in the volume of the medium. Rarefaction is the part of a wave in which the particles of the medium are apart from each other, and there is an increase in the volume of the medium.
