Wave Refraction*, Diffraction & Reflection
• Wave Refraction: The direction of waves may
change when they enter from deep to shallow water
or from shallow to deep water.

Wave direction is normal to the wave crest
line
•Wave refraction
•Wave length becomes shorter
•Wave group velocity is reduced
•Wave becomes steeper, which leads to
wave breaking. Wave breaking leads to
the generation of long-shore current.
