The wave produced inside the water is *
Answers
Answer:
Standing on a beach and watching the waves roll in and break, one might guess that water is moving bodily towards the shore. But no water is piling up on the beach. Watching a piece of floating debris beyond the breakers, we can see it move towards the shore on the crest of a wave, and move the same distance backward with the trough of the wave. The debris moves in a roughly circular path perpendicular to the water's surface. Water waves are surface waves, a mixture of longitudinal and transverse waves. Surface waves in oceanography are deformations of the sea surface. The deformations propagate with the wave speed, while the water molecules remain at the same positions on average. Energy, however, moves towards the shore. Most ocean waves are produced by wind, and the energy from the wind offshore is carried by the waves towards the shore.
We distinguish between deep-water waves and shallow-water waves. The distinction between deep and shallow water waves has nothing to do with absolute water depth. It is determined by the ratio of the water's depth to the wavelength of the wave.
Answer:
The waves produced by a motorboat sailing in water are of both transverse and longitudinal type. Transverse waves are produced on the surface and longitudinal waves are produced deep inside the water.
