Height of a normal ocean wave?
It really depends on where in the world but I think in the pacific allot of the waves are above 8m tall because there is no land to brake them.+===The height of a normal surface wave does not depend on where it is but on the unbroken distance across the sea on which the wind can act. Approaching land, waves increase in height and steepness as the shallows impede them, before they topple completely and convert the wave motion into a tumbling mass of water.
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
What is the height of a soundwave which indicates loudness of a sound?
It's the Acoustic Definition of Amplitude.The height of the sound wave is called its amplitude.
What are wave carriers?
Wave carriers are aircraft carriers that are being crushed by giant waves.
What is the wave property that is relate to the height of the wave?
amplitude
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
The product of the wave's frequency and the wave's wave length is equal to the speed of propagation of the wave.
What property of a wave describes how often it occurs?
It's "period"
How do you measre a waves energy?
A wave's amplitude, or wave height, is a direct indication of its energy.
Which wave will have the highest wave height?
For water waves, the tsunamis reach the greatest heights
Which property of a mechanical wave is determined by the energy that the wave carries?
Height OR amplitude.
What wave property did Francesco grimaldi study?
transverse waves
What is a property of a wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their travel.
Intensity of the wave vs. the speed of the wave?
height is the intensity, the distance covered by a wave divided by the time it takes is the speed. (ie. short waves = low intensity, fat waves = slow waves)
Which property of waves is the distance between one point on a wave and that same point on the wave next to it?
That distance is a definition, not a wave property. It's defined as the "wavelength".
Which property of waves is the distance between one point on a wave and that same point on wave next to it?
That distance is a definition, not a wave property. It's defined as the "wavelength".
