Homework Statement
What happens to the wavelength, frequency and amplitude of the water wave when it travels from deep to shallow water at an oblique angle to the normal?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The wavelength will decrease.
The frequency will be unchanged because the source producing the waves (ocean) will be the same.
The amplitude will increase (because there is less resistance of the wave because there is less water).
Speed will also decrease because speed = wavelength x frequency because wavelength is proportional tp speed if frequency is constant
