Definition. Wave period is the time it takes for two successive wave crests (or troughs) to pass a fixed point in the ocean. This measurement is crucial as it helps determine the energy and speed of waves, which are essential components of coastal processes and tidal movements.
There are also a number of terms used to describe wave motion: Period: the time it takes for two successive crests to pass a given point. Frequency: the number of waves passing a point in a given amount of time, usually expressed as waves per second. This is the inverse of the period.
6 Μαρ 2017 · 2 Types of Ocean Waves and Wave Classification. Ocean waves can be classified in several ways (Kinsman, 1965; Massel, 2013; Holthuijsen, 2007, among others). The most intuitive and commonly used classification is based on the wave period or the associated wavelength.
A wave is described by its wavelength (or the distance between two sequential crests or two sequential troughs), the wave period (or the time it takes a wave to travel the wavelength), and the wave frequency (the number of wave crests that pass by a fixed location in a given amount of time).
Definition. Wave period is the time it takes for two successive wave crests to pass a fixed point, usually measured in seconds. This measurement is crucial for understanding the behavior of waves, including their energy, speed, and how they interact with coastlines and ocean currents.

Wave period is the time it takes for two successive wave crests to pass a fixed point in the ocean or any body of water. It is a key characteristic of waves, as it directly relates to their frequency and energy.
