Determine the wavelength and the actual height of the waves?

Answer»

What is the STEEPNESS of a wave?

When the slope, or steepness RATIO, of a wave is too great, breaking is INEVITABLE. Individual waves in deep water break when the wave steepness—the ratio of the wave height H to the WAVELENGTH λ—exceeds about 0.17, so for H > 0.17 λ.
