Deep-Water Wave
Deep-Water Wave : Also called: short wave, Stokesian wave: A surface wave the length of which is less than twice the depth of the water. When this relationship exists the following approximation is valid: where c is the wave velocity, g is the acceleration of gravity, and L is the wave length. Thus, the velocity of deep-water waves is independent of the depth of water. See: Shallow-Water Wave, Tsunami. N.B. Refer to source to verify equation(s)
