2. Conclusion and Course Closure

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does the symbol 'CG' represent in wave power equations?

   Hint

   Think about how the energy travels with the wave.

2. 2.

   Define wave power briefly.

   Hint

   How is it calculated?

3. 3.

   What does wave power (P) equal?

   • e * C
   • e * CG
   • C * d

   Hint

   Remember the equation we discussed.

4. 4.

   True or False: Shoaling makes waves taller as they approach shallower depths.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about wave behavior in different depths.

5. 5.

   Given a wave height of 2 meters in deep water, calculate the expected wave height in shallow water if C0 is 5 m/s and the formula h/h0 = √(C0/C) * (1/(2n)) applies.

   Hint

   You might need to determine C in shallow waters first.

6. 6.

   A steep wave with a height of 3 meters shows significant mass transport; calculate the mass transport velocity if the wave has a period of 8 seconds.

   Hint

   Recall how steepness influences mass transport.
