Question

The speed or celerity of deep-water waves... A. increases with increasing water depth B. increases as water becomes blue in color C. decreases with increasing wave height D. is constant regardless of wavelength E. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The speed or celerity of deep-water waves increases with increasing water depth.

With increase in depth, the pressure inside the increases as p=ρgh.

And with this increase in pressure force associated with waves increase because force is directly proportional to the pressure. Now greater the force greater will be accleration and greater velocity is obtained.
