Question: Consider the wave in problem 6 . The angle of heading of this wave is 3 0 degrees with respect to the shoreline ( 6

Consider the wave in problem 6. The angle of heading of this wave is 30 degrees with
respect to the shoreline (60 degrees with respect to shore normal). The wave undergoes transformation
as it travels into the shallow water. At a water depth of 10 m, find out the wave properties (wave height,
wavelength, celerity, wave heading angle) and the coefficients of shoaling and refraction. Using the
wave breaking condition, ratio of wave height to water depth greater than 0.8 means breaking,
comment on existence of this wave at shallow depth. You can assume shore-parallel, straight bottom
contours.
