Question
Which of the following is the horizontal distance between two successive crests?
The correct answer is
Wave length
The correct answer is wavelength.
Key Points
- The distance between the peaks or troughs of two consecutive waves is called the wavelength of the wave.
- The wavelength of a wave is the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves.
- Frequency is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a given time.
- Frequency is represented by the Greek letter nu (v).
Additional Information
- The height of the wave can be given by the following equation,
- hw= 0.032√vf+0.763–0.271ƒ³/4, for f <32
- hw= 0.032vf, for f > 32
- where hw = height of water from the crest to the trough in meters,
- v = wind speed in km/h,
- f = length or direct length of water expansion in kilometers
