[1] (24%) Select proper answer

When celerity depends on wave length, the wave is
called (dispersive wave, non-dispersive wave).

With (dispersive wave, non-dispersive wave),
communication is possible.

Acoustic waves are (dispersive waves, non-
dispersive waves).

Wave induced dynamic pressure is (linearly,
quadratically) proportional to wave height.

When the distance between semi-antinode and semi
node of a partial standing wave is 30m, the
wavelength of the incident wave is (120m, 60m)

(Longer, Shorter) water waves travel faster in deep water.

The front of water waves in deep water moves with (celerity,
group velocity).

The primary restoring force for water waves of wavelength=20-
200m is (gravity, Coriolis, surface tension) force.

The wave energy is (linearly, quadratically) proportional to wave
height.

Long waves generated by large-scale atmospheric pressure
variation are called (tidal waves, tsunamis, storm surge)

The maximum vertical acceleration of water-wave particles occurs
at (crest, crossing point)

Water depth=200m is considered to be (deep, transitional) for a
sinusoidal water wave of wavelength=470m.

[2] (6%) When a hypothetical sinusoidal
wave satisfies the dispersion relation
=2k between circular frequency and
wave number k, find its celerity and group
velocity.

[3] (4%) When the potential energy of a
regular wave for certain area is 20000J,
what is the corresponding kinetic energy?

[4] (6%) The group velocity of a shallow
water wave is 3m/s. What is the
corresponding water depth?

[5] Consider a deep-water wave with 8-s
period and 4-m height?

(a) (10%) What is the power of this wave
along the crest width of 500m?
(b) (10%) If this deepwater wave
propagates to the area of 2-m water depth,
what is the new wave length and wave
height at that location? (Assume 2D wave
of normal incidence, shallow-water wave
at 2-m depth, and mild bottom slope: use
conservation of wave energy flux (power))

[6] (a) (5%) When wave length is 100m at
10-m water depth, what is the
corresponding wave period?
(b) (10%) When wave height=2m, what is
the major semi-axis of the elliptical particle
trajectory at z=-3m?
(c) (10%) What is the amplitude of the
horizontal particle velocity at the same
location z=-3m?
(d) (15%) If a vertical wall is present at the
10-m depth, a perfect standing wave will
be formed in front of the wall. In that case,
what is the dynamic pressure amplitude of
the standing wave at z=-3m under the
anti-node.

usually small, its effect, when
integrated over a large body of
water, can be catastrophic.
