The distance between identical points on a wave is called wavelength.
the measure of a straight-line distance between two points is called length.
That's called the "distance" between the points.
If it is plotted correctly, there is no reason for it to be anything but accurate.
It is simply called the distance between the two points - simple as that. How that distance is measured will depend on the nature of the surface on which the two points are located as well as on the metric for measuring distance that is defined on that space.The common metric in Euclidean space is the Pythagorean distance while on the surface of a sphere (like the Earth, for example), distances are measured along the great arc.
lengthThe distance between two points is called the displacement.
The shortest distance between any two points is called displacement.

Wavelength
Length or distance between two points.
That's called the distance.
