Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A wave has a wavelength of 15 meters and a period of 3 seconds. Calculate its celerity. Then consider how increasing the depth from 1 meter to 10 meters would affect its speed.

💡 Hint: Consider the direct relationship of wavelength and period.

Question 2

Using the dispersion relationship derived, show how to solve sigma squared = gk tanh(kd) for k, providing a real-life scenario illustrating shallow versus deep wave behavior.

💡 Hint: Look at how water depth influences wave behavior physically.
