    GlossaryWavelength

    distance between consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave

    Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave, such as light or sound. In the context of hair and biology, understanding the wavelength of light is crucial for treatments like laser therapy, which can target specific wavelengths to stimulate hair growth or treat conditions like alopecia.
