Match the Wave Characteristics with the Equation Used to Calculate

Question 12

Matching

Match the wave characteristics with the equation used to calculate the corresponding value. You may use each answer once, more than once or not at all.

Premises:

Responses:

wave speed

wave height

depth at which waves break

wavelength/period

depth of the circular motion of water molecules

wavelength/20

minimum depth for generation of deep water waves

5.67 (depth(ft)) √

diameter of orbital wave

1.25 (depth(m)) √

wavelength/2

1/period

steepness=1:7
