Question

differentiate between wave heigh and wave length​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wave height is the vertical distance from the bottom of the trough between waves and the crest of the wave. Height of seas is the vertical distance between mean sea level and the crest of the wave, or the amplitude of the wave. Waves are not generally sinusoidal, so their ratio is not 2:1 but approximately 9:5: if the waves are 9', the seas are 5'. When boating and not recording meteorological data, most boaters are interested in the wave height and period.
