The R/V Sea Serpent is in the Gulf of Mexico sampling gag grouper populations when it encountered the feeder bands from a tropical storm
Assuming that the R/V Sea Serpent is in deep water, calculate the wave speed and the wavelength of the storm-generated waves. The wave period (T) is 2.5 seconds.
S (in meters per second) = 1.56 * Period = 3.9 meters per second
