Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A wave with an amplitude of 0.8m travels in water 10m deep. Calculate the specific energy density at this point.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for total energy per surface area to find specific energy for waves.
Consider a scenario where the pressure at z = -5m is measured through subsurface instruments. If the amplitude is 1.0m, determine Kp and the pressure at that layer.
💡 Hint: Analyze how Kp varies with wave amplitude and depth correlations.
