c. A deep-water wave of period 8.5 sec and a height of 5m is travelling to the shoreline over a sandy seabed of slope 1:100. Assuming that the seabed contours are parallel, find the height and depth of the wave when it breaks. At the break point, KR is expected to be 0.88. Only carry out one iteration.
