How is height of wave determined?(a) By wind speed(b) By force of wave(c) By a immersion scale(d) By a floating deviceThe question was asked in semester exam.I would like to ask this question from Wave Energy topic in section Ocean Energy & Geothermal Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) By wind SPEED

For explanation: Wave height is DETERMINED by wind speed, the duration of TIME the wind has been blowing, fetch and by the depth and topography of the seafloor. A given wind speed has a matching practical limit over which time or distance will not PRODUCE larger waves.
