The speed of a wave is measured in meters per second or m/s. It measures how far the wave travels in a certain amount of time.


What are the properties of the fastest wave travels?

The fastest traveling wave is the transverse wave of electromagnetic radiation. Along the radiating antenna, it travels at the speed of light. There are two velocity components in space: one is the radial component, which also travels at the speed of light. The other is the transverse velocity component, which increases with distance. In the far, far field, it is much greater than the speed of light. The characteristics of the antenna electromagnetic dynamic field waves were plotted directly from the well known radiation equation,

How does the depth of the ocean affect the shape and speed of a Wave?

A wave's energy moves in a circular pattern and the deeper the water column, the faster the wave travels and the smaller its size e.g. it has low steepness. As it approaches the shore and the water becomes shallow, the bottom of the wave drags on the ocean floor which slows the bottom of the wave down but the top of the wave continues at the same speed. Eventually the top of the wave gets so far ahead of the bottom that it topples over forming a breaker.
