Waves approach a breakwater as shown in Figure 2. Compute the maximum free surface elevation at each of the three locations a, b and c if the incident waves have offshore height 0.8 m and period 9 seconds. You may assume the breakwater is perfectly reflective and the depth is constant at 7 m for all locations North of the breakwater.
