How Does Depth Affect Wavelength?

The change from deep to shallow water waves occurs when the depth of the water, d, becomes less than one half of the wavelength of the wave, λ. The speed of deep-water waves depends on the wavelength of the waves. We say that deep-water waves show dispersion. A wave with a longer wavelength travels at higher speed.

What is a wavelength in the ocean?

Wavelength is the distance between two identical points on successive waves, for example crest to crest, or trough to trough. Wave steepness: the ratio of wave height to length (H/L).
