As a wave nears shore the wave height increases and the wavelength .?
[object Object]
What kind of wave increases in height due to strong winds?
surface wave
Which kind of wave increases in height due to strong winds?
surface waves (plato)
What happens to wave height and wavelength as a wave approaches shore?
Depending on height at origin as it approaches the coastal shelf it will rise and increase the strength of the wave. for example a wave 50ft high approaching the atlantic coastal shelf could rise to 150-200 feet with disastrious ramifications.
Are the crests always the same height in a wave?
No. The height of the crests is the wave amplitude, which is an indicator of the energy carried by the wave. Increasing the energy increases the amplitude; conversely, decreasing amplitude indicates a loss of energy.

How does your view of a water wave change when you are travelling at the same speed as the wave?
If the depth of the water stays the same, the wave looks the same, to a first approximation. If the water gets deeper the wave height will decrease. If the water becomes shallower, the wave height increases. A second order effect is that friction effects will slowly reduce the wave height.

As frequency increases the energy of a wave increases or decreases?
As frequency increases the energy of a wave also increases.
How do you think the wave from a loud sound compares to the wave from a soft sound?
The amplitude (The height of the wave) of the wave increases as the sound gets louder.
What is the term for the height of a wave?
Hi The term used to refer the height of a wave is "significant wave height".
What is the height of the wave known as?
The height of a wave is the amplitude.
What increases when a wave period decreases.?
When a wave period decreases, speed increases.
