3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is wave power?
Consider energy in relation to wave motion.
Define group velocity.
Think about the relationship between wave speed and energy transmission.
What is the formula for wave power?
Focus on the relationship between energy and wave speed.
True or False: Mass transport in waves decreases with higher wave steepness.
Think about how wave energy relates to particle motion.
A wave in deep water has a height of 2 meters and speed C0 = 16 m/s. Calculate the height of that wave if it enters shallow water where its speed is C = 10 m/s.
Substitute the values properly and calculate carefully.
Consider a scenario with steep waves averaging 5 meters in height. Discuss the implications of their mass transport velocity compared to waves of a longer period with a height of 1 meter.
Reflect on the factors affecting wave steepness and energy.
