The formula to calculate the speed of a shallow water wave is. Tsunami speed yeet 20181130 1712 Female50 years old levelHigh-school University Grad studentVery Purpose of use Use to determine speed from epicenter of Indian Ocean 2004 Earthquake to Sri Lanka coastline. Multiply the value by 062.
L is the wavelength of the wave in meters.
For ocean and sea waves the depth is large enough to have no effect. To find the wavelength of a wave you just have to divide the waves speed by its frequency. A wave is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles. V f times lambda where.
