Water Wave Refraction In a ripple tank, when the water depth changes, some of the properties of the waves change when they cross from shallow to deep water from deep to shallow water. (The diagram is not to scale.) Direction of wave travel Water depth changes at this line Straight wave generator Ripple tank Water Wave fronts The 1.85 cm waves travel from the generator and cross the boundary where the water depth changes. In the lower part of the diagram, the speed of the wave is 7.50 cm/s. If the wavelength of the waves in the upper part of the diagram is 2.86 cm, what is the frequency of the waves in the upper region of the ripple tank. Please show all your work. 3 marks Water Wave Refraction In a ripple tank, when the water depth changes, some of the properties of the waves change when they cross from shallow to deep water from deep to shallow water.
