Experiments on water waves show that the speed of waves in shallow water is independent of their wavelength (see Problem). Using this observation and dimensional analysis, determine how the speed v of shallow-water waves depends on the depth of the water, d, the mass per volume of water, p, and the acceleration of gravity, g.

Problem

Shallow-Water Waves In shallow water of depth d the speed of waves is approximately . Find the speed and frequency of a wave with wavelength 0.75 cm in water that is 2.6 cm deep.
