Answer:

6.5 meters

Explanation:

Background Knowledge:

The most familiar example of breaking wave is the breaking of water surface waves on a coastline.

Explanation:

The process of Wave breaking in most of the cases occurs when the amplitude reaches the point that the crest of the wave actually overturns

Factors by which waves are produced:

Different type of waves are produced and varied according to different type of factors. These factors are

Wind direction

Type of swell

Sea floor features

Slope of sea bed

Direct answer of the question:

In general rule, Waves start to break on reaching a water depth of 1.3 times the wave height.

In this question wave height is 5 meters so wave breaks on

5 × 1.3 = 6.5 meters

KonstantinChe [14]

One is through sublimation, where the mixture is heated and iodine gets converted into gaseous form, leaving behind the iron fillings.

The other is to get a magnet near the mixture and all the iron fillings get attracted to it while iodine will be left over
