CEB 811 - Test 1

The document is a test for a Coastal Engineering course covering topics related to waves, including wave breaking, shoaling, reflection, refraction, and diffraction. It contains 6 questions testing definitions and concepts. Question 1 asks students to define wave breaking and shoaling, list types of wave breaking, and draw examples. Question 2 asks students to define and draw examples of wave reflection, refraction, and diffraction. Question 3 involves a wave approaching shore at an angle. Question 4 provides a wave equation and asks students to identify wave properties and perform calculations related to velocities, accelerations, energies, and power. Question 5 asks about littoral drift and sediment transport. Question 6 involves wave breaking and runup calculations on a sloped
