The physical distance between two points of identical phase on consecutive cycles of a wave. The symbol for wavelength is lambda, "l". Wavelength is related to frequency according to the equation l=c/f, where c is the speed of light (3*108 m/s) f is frequency in Hz.
See cosmological constant.
The Greek letter which transliterates as L. To the Greeks, it was a symbol of justice and equality, taking its shape from the scales of justice. It was adopted as a gay pride/gay rights symbol by the Mattachine Society in the 1970s, and is an international symbol of gay pride. Mattachine adopted it because of the symbolism of Justice and because they had been told that the army of one of the Greek city-states used to paint the lambda on their shields, and members of Greek armies, because of the male-only environment they lived in, frequently took male lovers. (RS)
The Greek letter, corresponding to the letter L, used as a symbol for the coefficient of heat conductivity, the relative rate at which heat is transmitted through a material.

See BP RP, Note #3.
the upper case Greek Lambda is usually used to denote Einstein's cosmological constant. A non-zero Lambda indicates a non-zero vacuum energy density and causes a long-range repulsive effect which leads to the accelerating expansion of the Universe.
Permeance (cap), wavelength, attenuation constant
A wavelength that can be sent along a single strand of optical fiber, increasing potential capacity to the point where bandwidth is no longer a bottleneck. See LambdaGrid.
Chosen by the Gay Activist Alliance in 1970 as the symbol of the gay movement, the lambda is the Greek letter L. A battle flag with the lambda was carried by a regiment of ancient Greek warriors who were accompanied in battle by their young male lovers and noted for their fierceness and willingness to fight to the death.
The 11th letter of the Greek alphabet. Lambda is used as the symbol for wavelength in lightwave systems. Fiber optic systems use multiple wavelengths of light through dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). Each range of wavelength appears in a "window" roughly corresponding to a color in the visible light spectrum.
or ) Greek letter used to represent the measurement of the wavelength in a signal waveform.
Greek lower case letter. Used to represent a wavelength with reference to electrical dimensions in antenna work. linearly polarized antennas, Antennas that produce only one polarization.
Lambda (uppercase Λ, lowercase λ) is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 30. Letters that arose from Lambda include the Roman L and the Cyrillic letter El (Л, л).
