Wave phenomenon don't carry matter but energy perpendicular to wavefront. In case of water waves Energy is in the form of Kinetic energy of vertical displacement of water molecules ,so does any object placed on it.Hence there would be no attaction/repulsion will be observed.
The phase velocity of ocean waves is (gλ/2∏)1/2,where g is the acceleration of gravity.Find the group velocity of ocean waves.
Relevant equations: λ=h/γmv phase velocity= c2/v(velocity of particle) group velocity=v (velocity of particle).
