The speed of the wind, gravitational pull of the moon interactions with other waves time duration the wind has blown over a given area width of area affected by fetch water depth. These are some of the reasons that affect the height of ocean waves.

∙ 12y agoOne of the factor is Wind energy
-Air moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas
-The higher the difference in pressure , the greater the wind speed hence higher wave energy
Second factor is Fetch
-Refers to the distance travelled by the winds over the open sea
-The greater the fetch , the higher the wave energy

What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
What factors influence the size of the wave?
wavelength and wind
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
What is phase velocity?
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.
Is wave amplitude related to wave velocity?
No.

No.
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
What is the velocity of a radio wavelength of 3m?
If u meant radio wave, then velocity of all electromagnetic wave is 3*108 m/s. Hence velocity of radio wave will be the same ,as it as an em wave, irrespective of its wavelength.
What is the difference between group velocity and phase velocity in a stationary wave on a string?
The velocity of a wave which maintains consatnt phase at all successive positions during propogation is known as wave velocity or phase velocity. The velocity of a group of waves which maintains constant poditions during the propogation is known as group velocity.
