Question:

Deep-water waves are dispersive (their wave speed depends on the wavelength). The restoring force is provided by gravity. Using dimensional analysis, find out how the speed of deep-water waves depends on wavelength l, assuming that l and g are the only relevant quantities. (Mass density does not enter into the expression because the restoring force, arising from the weight of the water, is itself proportional to the mass density.)
