Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Only capillary waves and wind waves can be deep-water waves. The wavelength of the other types
waves listed are too large. They will never be in water that is deeper than half its wavelength.
Information can be found in the section Contemporary Oceanography Makes Use of Modern
Technology



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Dispersion is the separation of waves as they leave the fetch. The waves separate into groups with
similar wavelengths. Dispersion creates swells. Information can be found in the section Wind Blowing
Over the Ocean Generates Waves
