Question

With a period of 10 seconds and a wavelength of 50 m, what is the wave speed?

What happens to wave speed after a wave feels bottom and approaches shore?

What happens to wave height after a wave feels bottom and approaches shore?

What happens to wave length after a wave feels bottom and approaches shore?

What happens to wave period after a wave feels bottom and approaches shore?

At what ocean depths is a 30-m wave length wave considered a deep water wave?

At what ocean depths is a 30-m wave length wave considered NOT a deep water wave?

Which types of waves have the potential to have the largest height?

Which of the following would be considered a deep-water wave in the open ocean?

Tsunami

Swell

Chop

Seiche in Pool/Lagoon/Bay

Which of the following will increase wind wave height in the open ocean?

Strong winds

Moderate winds

Weak winds

1)Wave speed = wave length/wave period=50/10= 5 m/s

2)Wave entering the shore will have decrease in its speed, and wavelength and increase in its height and no change in its wave period

6)Water considered as a deep water if it is 60 meters or higher and not a deep water if it is 59 meters or lower

8)Tsunami waves have the capability to get larger heights

9)Swell

10)String winds
