Question 1.
Define deep water in terms of the depth to wavelength ratio.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how depth compares to wavelength.
Question 2.
What equation represents wave speed in shallow water?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the factors that affect wave speed.
3Question 3.
What is the ratio that defines deep water?
- d/L < 0.05

- 0.05 < d/L < 0.5
Show hintHide hint
Consider the definitions we've covered.
4Question 4.
True or False: In shallow water, wave speed is independent of water depth.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the characteristics of each water type.
Question 5.
