Observed that water waves advancing toward the shore

Reference no: EM13548349

You may have observed that water waves advancing toward the shore have their wavefornts almost always parallel to the shoreline, independent of the direction of the wind. Nothing the fact that the velocity of waves in water decreases as the depth of the water decreases use Hyugens Principle to explain this phenomenon.
