What else can I help you with?
The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?
A wave length.
What is wave velocity inversely proportional to?
It is inversely proportional to wave length.
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
A wave moving in water that is deeper than half its wavelength is called what?
A deep-water wave.
What is the variable for wavelength?
Wave length can be altered by changing frequency or Energy associated with it
How is water length and frequency of a wave related?
I don't know what's "water length" but I do know that the deeper the water are, the faster the wave goes. If you meant wave length and not water length, then the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency of the wave.
Is a wave length longer or shorter in water than in air?
the wave length stays the same length, it'll just diffract fron the air to the water and vice versa.
How does the speed of wave energy propagation in water change with the length of the wavelength?
The speed of wave energy propagation in water increases as the length of the wavelength increases.
How do you determine the length of a wave base?
The length of a wave base is typically determined by multiplying the water depth by a factor that depends on the type of wave and the shape of the sea floor. In general, for deep water waves, the wave base is about half the wavelength, and for shallow water waves, it's about equal to the water depth. Measurements and calculations based on wave characteristics are usually used to estimate wave base length.
Waves begin to feel bottom when water depth is?
When the water depth is half the wavelength of the wave, waves begin to feel the bottom. This is known as the wave base. As the wave base interacts with the ocean floor, it causes the wave to change shape and eventually break.
How does an ocean wave change as it moves from deep water to shallow water?
Deep water waves are long in length but short in height. As the wave moves into shallower depths it becomes shorter in length and taller in height.
Explain the importance of how a wave length is created?
Wave length's are one of the most fundamental subjects in physics effecting sound, light and water for example. Learning how the wave length was created allows one to learn much about sound and light.
How does wave length change in shallow water?
In shallow water, the wavelength of the wave decreases while the wave height increases. This happens because the wave speed decreases as it interacts with the seafloor, causing the wave to become steeper and taller.
Do wave length remain constant?
It depends on the type of wave you mean and the situation applied to. Water waves slow down when they reach shallow water and their wave-length shortens. This is why waves 'break', the back-side of the wave over-takes the slower lead-side. Light waves, when they encounter a polar molecule are absorbed and remitted at a shorter wave length. Electrons (wave-particle duality) change their wave-length when changing energy states.
What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
Explain what the amplitude of a water wave is?
The amplitude of a water wave is the maximum displacement of a water surface from its undisturbed position. It represents the height of the wave crest or the depth of the wave trough from the equilibrium level of the water.
What is the length of full wave?
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
