Define wave energy flux.
Think about the movement of energy with waves.
What does the formula P = e * C_G represent?
Consider each term and its role in wave dynamics.
What does wave energy flux measure?
Recall the definition of wave energy flux.
True or False: Wave height increases as waves move from deep water to shallow water due to the conservation of wave power.
Think about wave behavior in different depths.
If a wave has a height of 1.5 meters in deep water and travels to a location where the water depth is 5 meters, use the shoaling coefficient to predict its new height.
Refer to the shoaling formula discussed.
Discuss how different wave lengths affect mass transport speed, and calculate how a steep wave with a height of 4 meters would visually impact coastlines compared to a gentle wave with a height of 2 meters.
Consider the relationship between wave height, energy, and coastal effects.
