What are wave length and wave height?
Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms. Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.
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 type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
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 factor does not help determine the height length AND period of the wave?
temperature
Which factor does not help determine the height length and period of a wave?
temperature
The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?
A wave length.
Does the energy of a wave depend mainly on its wave length?
true
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 do you find wave length?
the length of a wave generated by a complete vibration or time period
How do find wave length?
the length of a wave generated by a complete vibration or time period
Explain the difference between a wave and a wavelength?
A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance
What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?
The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.
How is frequency of a wave different from amplitude of the wave?
The frequency is the occurrence along the length of a wave, the amplitude the the height of the occurrence
