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.

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index into a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum angle (called critical angle) for which all the light is reflected, so there is no refraction.
The value of the critical angle is given by:
when n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our case, n1=1.33 (the water) and n1=1.00 (the air). Putting numbers in, we get
