Damage may be a result of the direct effects of alcohol on the brain or may result indirectly, from a poor general health status or from severe liver disease. For example, thiamine deficiency is a common occurrence in people with alcoholism and results from poor overall nutrition.
In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction. On the diagram above, the distance from point A to point C or from point B to point D would be representative of the wavelength.
(second answer) First, the wavelength is usually measured from crest to crest or from trough to trough. Wavelength is usually represented by the Greek letter lambda, the character for length.Wavelengths vary from kilometers to Angstroms.The Angstrom is represented by the symbol (A with a small circle atop)) (first answer) Just like your height, or the distance to a far away star, a wavelength can be expressed in any unit of length. Examples are meters, feet, kilometers, miles, inches, nanometers, etc.he Angstrom is represented by the symbol (A with a small circle atop)) (first answer) Just like your height, or the distance to a far away star, a wavelength can be expressed in any unit of length.
