Calculating Water Wave Speed and Period in a 4.4m Lake

[jholtz]

water travels in a lake 4.4m in 1.8 sec the period of oscillation is 1.2 sec
a. what is the speed of the water waves
b What is the period length

 

[CompuChip]

This is very basic, actually just applying definitions.
What is velocity?
By "period length", do you mean "wave length"? What is that?

 

[labview1958]

water wave speed = frequency x wavelength

If the depth remains the same and frequency is doubled would the wavelength be halfed?
