Chapter 10 Waves
Chapter Outline • 10.1: Waves move energy, not water • 10.2: Wave classification • 10.3: Water depth influences wave behavior • 10.4: Wind generates ocean waves • 10.6: Deep-water waves approach shore • 10.10: Seiche • 10.11: Tsunamis
Calculating Wave Celerity • Deep water waves: C = L/T C = speed (celerity), L = wavelength, T = time (seconds) • Shallow water waves: C = 3.1d C = speed (celerity), d = depth (in meters)
