Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Derive the equation for celerity as a function of water depth using the dispersion relationship, σ² = gk tanh(kd). Show your workings and discuss how this relates to real-world wave behavior.
💡 Hint: Utilize the fact that k = 2π/L when expressing L.
Question 2
Explain how the phase of a wave changes in shallow vs. deep water and derive the impact on the wave's observable behavior.
💡 Hint: Consider the effects of friction and bottom interactions as depth decreases.
