An ocean wave has a wavelength of 2 meters and a period of 5 seconds. What is the speed of the wave?
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. Speed: how fast the wave travels, or the distance traveled per unit of time.

10 Ιουν 2024 · Most ocean waves are generated by wind. Wind blowing across the water’s surface creates little disturbances called capillary waves, or ripples that start from gentle breezes (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)). Capillary waves have a rounded crest with a V-shaped trough, and wavelengths less than 1.7 cm.
