<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves
<u>Explanation:</u>
To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.
This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:
Wave base =
We are given:
Wavelength = 24 m
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Wave base =
Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves
