Question
1. Wave shoaling A 16 second period wave approaches the coastline at a perpendicular orientation. The bathymetric (bottom) slope is 1:15. Offshore, in 1,000m depth water, the wave height is 2.0m. 1.1 Graph the wave phase speed as it varies with offshore distance (not depth!!), from the 1,000m depth location to the shoreline. On this graph, label the wave classification where appropriate (deep, intermediate, shallow). Importantly, make sure your wave direction is left to right on your graph, otherwise you will violate the first law of wave mechanics.
