Why do water waves travel slower in shallower water?
Water waves moving from shallow to deeper water. Light waves will speed up or slow down when they enter or exit a material of a different optical density, which is the refractive index of the material.

When waves travel into areas of shallow water, they begin to be affected by the ocean bottom. [1] The free orbital motion of the water is disrupted, and water particles in orbital motion no longer return to their original position. As the water becomes shallower, the swell becomes higher and steeper, ultimately assuming the familiar sharp ...
Water waves refract when they travel from deep water to shallow water (or vice versa). Why does refraction happen? Refraction happens because the speed of the wave changes.
Investigate the motion of waves in water, what happens when waves get reflected and different types of superposition of waves with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC...
The diagram below shows the refraction of waves passing from air to water (the equivalent of from deep to shallow). As the waves travel from air to water, they slow down – water is denser than...
Aug 16, 2024 · Waves traveling in water depths deeper than one-half the wavelength—like ocean swell—are called deep water waves. Their progress is unimpeded by the seafloor. But as waves approach water depths less than one-half the wavelength, the wave orbitals begin to interact with the seafloor.
Some students used water waves in a ripple tank to model the behaviour of light waves. The diagram shows what happens to the wave fronts as they pass the boundary between deep water and shallower water. (a) Explain why refraction happens at the boundary between the deep water and shallower water.
