Water Waves From Deep To Shallow Medium

Waves travel slower in shallow water compared to deep water due to drag from the bottom of the shallow water, but the frequency of waves remains the same as they travel between deep and shallow mediums. Higher wave velocity results in longer wavelengths, and lower velocities produce shorter wavelengths, as shown in diagrams comparing wave properties in deep versus shallow water.

Water waves from Deep to shallow medium

1. Waves travel slower in shallow water. This is due to the drag of the bottom of water.
2.Frequency remains same as it travels from one medium to another.
3. Higer the velocity, higher the wavelength and vise versa.
Different Diagrams showing same concept

Note : For light waves concept is different


Diffraction:
