Question

what is the wavelength of a wave?
the amount of cycles that occur in a given time
the distance traveled by the wave during one full cycle
the distance from the beginning to the end of a cycle
the amount of time that one full cycle takes

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of wavelength, we analyze each option:

• "the amount of cycles that occur in a given time" describes frequency.
• "the distance traveled by the wave during one full cycle" matches the definition of wavelength (the spatial period of a wave, distance over one cycle).
• "the distance from the beginning to the end of a cycle" is vague and not the standard definition (wavelength is about distance traveled in one cycle, not just a cycle's spatial extent in an unclear way).
• "the amount of time that one full cycle takes" describes period.

Answer:

the distance traveled by the wave during one full cycle
