Question 1

What is the formula for pressure in wave mechanics?

p = rho * g * z
p = gamma * (eta * Kp - z)
p = half * m * v^2

💡 Hint: Recall the key terms from wave pressure distribution.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You observe wave heights of 3 m and 2 m in a coastal area. How do these changes impact the total energy available in waves?

💡 Hint: Consider how height influences potential energy directly.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how water depth influences wave behavior, explaining the variations in kinetic and potential energy as waves traverse from deep to shallow waters.

💡 Hint: Link back to how depth impacts both Kp and wave velocity.
