The velocity of water waves $v$ may depend upon their wavelength $\lambda $, the density of water $\rho $ and the acceleration due to gravity $g$. The method of dimensions gives the relation between these quantities as

  • A

    ${v^2} \propto \lambda {g^{ - 1}}{\rho ^{ - 1}}$

  • B

    ${v^2} \propto g\lambda \rho $

  • C

    ${v^2} \propto g\lambda $

  • D

    ${v^2} \propto {g^{ - 1}}{\lambda ^{ - 3}}$
