Assume a deep water wave: Would a diver at 20 meters depth notice the passage of a wind wave that has a wavelength of 30 meters? Why?
A) No, because the diver is greater than one-half the depth of the wavelength.
B) No, because the diver is less than 1/20 the depth of the wavelength.
C) Yes, because the diver is less than one-half the depth of the wavelength.
D) Yes, because the diver is within the wave motion.
