Question

A water wave moves from shallow to deep water what effect does this have on its frequency and wave length?

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate

Water waves travel fastest when the medium is the deepest. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. ... So as water waves are transmitted from deep water into shallow water, the speed decreases, the wavelength decreases, and the direction changes.

Answer 2

hey mate...

here is your answer...

As a wave approaches shallower waters, the backflow of returning water might cause a compression of the on-coming waves behind in the deeper water, thus resulting in shorter wave lengths.

And given the same energy of each wave plus the energy of the backflow compression effect, then with shorter wave lengths, the frequency would naturally increase along with an increase in amplitude.
