Question
to calculate the wavelength, what measurement of a wave would you need? (1 point) the ratio between the height and the length the distance between two adjacent waves the surface depth of the ocean floor the distance between the crest and the trough
Wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive (adjacent) crests or troughs of a wave. The ratio between height and length is not wavelength. The surface depth of the ocean floor is unrelated to wave - length calculation. The distance between crest and trough is related to wave height (amplitude in some cases) not wavelength.
