Physics

A wave of water behaves like a plane wave with a frequency of 12Hz breaks as it passes a sharp barrier between deep and shallowwater. The velocity of the wave's propagation in the deep water is24 cm/s, the angle of the wave reaching the barrier is60o and the breaking wave angle at the barrier is40o.

a. What is the velocity of propagation of thewave in shallow water?

b. What is the wavelength in the shallow waterand what is the wavelength in the deep water?
