As a wave travels through the waver, the particles travel in clockwise circles. The radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases. The following animation shows a water wave traveling from left to right in a region where the depth of the water is greater than the wavelength of the waves.

Waves and wave activity
• Standing waves
As waves can be thought of as single or complexsinusoids,we can lookat waves ascomprisingone or moreharmonics.

Waves and wave activity
• Traveling waves
Waves travel in groups,and thegroupvelocityis one-half the velocity of individual waves.

Output from a shallow water equation model of water in a bathtub. The water experiences five splashes which generate surface gravity waves that propagate away from the splash locations and reflect off of the bathtub walls.

Waves carry energy, not matterThe orbital motion of representative
water molecules: orbital size decreases with depth, with negligible water motion
at depth ½ wavelength
Circular path: waves of oscillation
Elliptical path: waves of translation

Waves break on reaching the shore. Why?

Waves break as the succeeding waves catch up with preceding waves

Three factors affect wind wave development:
(a) Wind speed, (b) Wind duration,
and (c) Fetch
