What is particle displacement?
Recall the original position of the water particle.
What do D and B represent in the equations?
Think about the shape of the orbit.
What type of motion do water particles exhibit in shallow water?
Think about the shape of the orbit in shallow waters.
True or False: In deep water, the motion of water particles is elliptical.
Recall the distinctions made in class regarding depth.
Determine the type of particle motion for a wave with a height of 1.5m and depth of 10m.
Consider the proportionality between depth and wave properties.
If a water particle at a certain depth follows an orbit of 0.8m radius in deep water, how does this affect the equations for D and B?
Revisit the deep water equations to understand the circular relationship.
