Question

In shallow-water waves the water depth is less than the ________ divided by twenty.

a) Wavelength
b) Frequency
c) Amplitude
d) Period

Answer 1

In shallow-water waves, the water depth is less than the wavelength divided by twenty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a) Wavelength.

In shallow-water waves, the water depth is less than the wavelength divided by twenty.

For example, if the wavelength of a wave is 10 meters, the water depth should be less than 0.5 meters (10 / 20 = 0.5).
