General properties of waves — practice question

(a(i))[2]

On Fig. 6.1, add three more crests on the right-hand side of point A.

(a(ii))[1]

State the name of the wave process that takes place as the wave goes past point A.

(b(i))[1]

On Fig. 6.2, draw an arrow to indicate the direction of the wave after it enters the shallow water.

(b(ii))[1]

State the name of the process that happens as the wave enters the shallow water.

(b(iii))[3]

Complete Table 6.1 to show whether each wave property increases, decreases or remains unchanged as the wave passes into the shallow water.
