How do I predict rogue waves using simple probability models ?

AI Thread Summary
Predicting rogue waves is inherently challenging due to their unpredictable nature, which is a defining characteristic. However, analyzing past rogue wave events using simple probability models is feasible. Participants suggest starting with Google searches for beginner-friendly materials on rogue waves and their causes. Recent breakthroughs in modeling rogue waves that incorporate both linear and non-linear regimes are highlighted as valuable resources. Engaging with these materials can enhance understanding and provide insights for the physics project.

Sorry, no can do. Rogue waves are, well, unpredictable. That's how they earned their name... :smile:

That's much more practical. What reading have you been doing about rogue waves in the past?

None apart the one I already published (which is in French). Could you propose any similar beginner-friendly material ?

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
