The speed of a water wave is described by v=gd, where d is the water depth, assumed to be small compared to the wavelength. Because their speed changes, water waves refract when moving into a region of different depth. (a) Sketch a map of an ocean beach on the eastern side of a landmass. Show contour lines of constant depth under water, assuming a reasonably uniform slope. (b) Suppose waves approach the coast from a storm far away to the northnortheast. Demonstrate that the waves move nearly perpendicular to the shoreline when they reach the beach. (c) Sketch a map of a coastline with alternating bays and headlands as suggested in Figure P34.26. Again make a reasonable guess about the shape of contour lines of constant depth. (d) Suppose waves approach the coast, carrying energy with uniform density along originally straight wave fronts. Show that the energy reaching the coast is concentrated at the headlands and has lower intensity in the bays. Figure P34.26

John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh (1842–1919), invented an improved foghorn. To warn ships of a coastline, a foghorn should radiate sound in a wide horizontal sheet over the ocean’s surface. It should not waste energy by broadcasting sound upward or downward. Rayleigh’s foghorn trumpet is shown in two possible configurations, horizontal and vertical, in Figure CQ27.13. Which is the correct orientation? Decide whether the long dimension of the rectangular opening should be horizontal or vertical and argue for your decision.
