Chat with AIExam 10: Waves
What are the five different types of waves discussed in this chapter? Which waves are considered to be deep-water waves? Include the disturbing and restoring forces of these waves.
(71) 
VerifiedAnswer should include:
• The types of waves discussed in this chapter are: capillary waves, wind waves, seiche waves, seismic sea waves, and tides.
• Capillary waves and wind waves are both considered to be deep-water waves. This means that it is possible for the depth under these waves to be more than the wavelength of the wave. Capillary waves and wind waves are created by wind. Their restoring force is the cohesion of water molecules which is different than the other waves mentioned. Wind waves are able to retain the most amount of energy. Like the other waves, the restoring force for wind waves is gravity.
• Tides, seismic sea waves, and seiches are considered to be shallow-water waves due to their large wavelengths. They are in constant interaction with the seafloor. Seiches can be formed by sudden changes in the atmospheric pressure or storm surges. They are in enclosed bays or harbors. Seismic sea waves are due to disturbances in the seafloor. Tides stem from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, sun and moon. These are all restored by gravity.

How fast do wave trains travel in relation to individual waves in that train?
(87) The tidal waves portrayed to the general public are not true tidal waves.
(75) When tsunamis begin to break ashore, they have very high wave crests.
(63) Tsunamis are shallow-water waves because their wavelengths are so long that they will never be in water deeper than 1/2 its wavelength.
(89) Multiple wave trains exist at the same time and can interact with each other.
(83) Giant internal waves can move down the side of submerged mountains and are detected by temperature differences between water layers.
(84) Orbitals of wind waves close to shore have elliptical orbits due to the proximity of the bottom.
(94) How deep would a submarine need to dive to feel no motion from surface waves with a wavelength of 200 meters ?
(77) The longer the wavelength is on a wave, the slower the wave energy moves through the water.
(83) What kind of waves occur at the boundary between two fluid media?
(80) Standing waves are important in the physics of what kind of wave?
