Final answer:
An experiment to determine the Minimum Fetch for wave formation would involve a wave tank, a constant wind source, and measurement of wave heights along the tank to identify the minimum length required for waves to be generated.
Step-by-step explanation:
To design an experiment to determine the Minimum Fetch required for wave formation at a fixed wind speed, you would first need to find or create a controlled environment where you can adjust the length of water surface (the fetch) over which the wind blows.
Your experimental setup would include a long and narrow wave tank to simulate the fetch, a fan or wind generator fixed at one end to provide constant wind speed, and markers or buoys to measure wave height along the length of the tank. Data on wave height vs fetch length at steady wind speed should be collected and analyzed to find the minimum fetch length needed for wave generation.
