OSB- Waves
OSB Outline on Waves
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the distance from trough to trough | Wavelength |
time it takes a full wave to pass a given point | Period |
vertical distance from trough to crest | Height |
number of waves that pass a point in a given time | Frequency |
peak of the wave | Crest |
bottom of the wave | Trough |
the distance that wind stays in contact with water | Fetch |
shape of waves in deep water | circular shape |
shape of waves in shallower water | elliptical shape |
How can you find the depth of a wave. | It is 1/2 the wavelength |
How can we find the depth of water in a shallow water | 1/20 of wavelength |
What two things does wave speed depend on | depends on wavelength and period |
What two things does wave size length depend on | depends on fetch and duration of wind contact |
What is a long wavelength ocean surface wave that travels far from its origin | Swell |
