∙ 7y agoThe size of the wave depends on the strength of the wind, the distance affected and the length of time it blows.

That's true for a wave on water due to wind blowing across its surface, but wave principles apply in all harmonic wave motion such as sound and vibration, and the electromagnetic spectrum. In general then the "size" (or amplitude) is a function of the power involved.

∙ 8y agoTwo factors that describe the size of a wave are its amplitude and its wavelength. Amplitude is essentially the height of the wave (measured from the top of the crest to the midpoint). The wavelength is the distance from one crest to the next. The wavelength can be related to the velocity and the frequency of the wave, according to the equation:
velocity = frequency * wavelength
The velocity of the wave is a measure of how fast the crest is moving with time (meters per second). The frequency is a measure of how many crests pass a stationary point in a given time interval (cycles per second = Hz).

∙ 13y agohi,
the size of a wave is influenced by the wind which blows. if the intensity of the wind is more, then you will find bigger waves. these are surface waves.
also, at times, the size of a wave can be influenced by geographical factors.

What factors influence the size of the wave?
wavelength and wind
What factors determine the size of a wave?
Wind speed Length of time the wind has blown over a given area Distance of open water that the wind has blown over; called fetch
What do the size of the wavelengths in electromagnetic waves determine?
The size of the wavelength w determines the energy of the wave. E = hc/w =cp and the Momentum of the wave, p=h/w.
What are three things that can affect the size of a wave?
the wind speed,wind duration and the distance the wave is traveling
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
What factors determine the size of an ocean wave made by wind?
Waves are mechanical energy that has been transferred mostly from wind. The factors that determine the size of an ocean wave made by the wind are: time of contact, velocity of wind and the fetch-distance over which wind is in contact with water.

Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
