Hey there,
Your question states: What factors affect the speed of water waves
Let's get one thing out the way, (wavelength) does

affect the the speed of water. If anything, it would be how high the wavelength's are. The higher the wavelengths are, the more that it would affect the speed, because there very high, but if it were to go longer on the width side, that would increase the speed, but that's not the case. Your correct answer would be (higher wavelength).
Hope this really helps you.
Convection Current
This happens when there is a noteworthy contrast in temperature between two sections of a liquid. At the point when this temperature distinction exists, hot liquids rise and cool liquids sink, and after that streams, or developments, are made in the liquid
Answer:
When there is wind it takes longer
Explanation:
With no wind, the round trip time is

When we have a constant wind speed w

comparing the reciprocal times;

This means that t1 is smaller than t2, ergo, it takes longer with wind
C. The Independent variable
It is the variable that you manipulate, while dependent is the response.
