The velocity of propagation of ripples on the surface of a shallow liquid depends on the gravitational acceleration g and the liquid depth h. If Buckingham's Theorem is used to identify the salient dimensionless group(s), how many dimensionless group(s) will be obtained? Number of dimensionless group(s) = 1. {1}
