2.1. Final Remarks and Contact Information

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is wave power?

   Hint

   Think about energy transmission in waves.

2. 2.

   Define shoaling.

   Hint

   What happens to waves when they get closer to the shore?

3. 3.

   What is the formula for calculating wave power?

   • e × CG
   • CG/h
   • h × C

   Hint

   Think about energy and velocity in waves.

4. 4.

   Shoaling increases wave height as they approach shallow water.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall what happens to waves near the shore.

5. 5.

   Given a wave height of 2 m in deep water, calculate the expected wave height when it propagates into 1 m depth water using the shoaling coefficient.

   Hint

   You will need to know the wave speed in deep water and shallow water to find the answer.

6. 6.

   Discuss how mass transport calculations might influence coastal engineering designs.

   Hint

   Think about the relationship between wave dynamics and potential impacts on coastal structures.
