Answer:
Amplitude and wavelength
Explanation:
- The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave, measured with respect to the equilibrium position (so, for a water wave it is the maximum height of the wave relative to the equilibrium position)
- The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or throughs) of a wave. So, for a water wave, it is the distance between two consecutive waves
Therefore, in the example in the problem we have:
- 2 meters corresponds to the amplitude
- 35 meters corresponds to the wavelength
Answer:
71 % of the earth's surface is covered in water
If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:

with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."

The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)
