Question

From the 4 waves shown on Page 2, fill in the following table (9 pts):

Wave Height

For the 4 waves shown on Page 2, determine the speed of the wave if the depth of the water is shown in the table below. Note: For this exercise any water depth less than ½ of the wavelength is considered a shallow-water wave, anything water depth greater than ½ of the wavelength is a deep-water wave (9pts). The equations you will use to solve for the waves speed are found in the book in pages 240 and 241. Wave steepness=wave height(H)/Wave length(L) Frequency(f)=1/Period (T). Make sure you select the proper equations so your results will be expressed on the proper units.

If wave’s A and B were to combine together, pick which of the 4 on Page 3 would be the resulting wave pattern. (2 pts) ____________

Wavelength   

Wave Height

A B C D D -1 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Distance (meters) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Distance (meters) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Distance (meters) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Distance (meters)

Explanation / Answer

wave length/ wave period = wave speed.

please provide time period or frequency or velocity. in this case we have 2 unknown variables.

also you may follow the link for your answer (it might help)

if A and B were combined together then resulting wave is

option A.

Wavelength Wave Height A -4 meter 6 meter B - 8 meter 2 meter C - 12 meter 4 meter D - 5 meter 4 meter
