REFRACTION OF DISPERSIVE WAVES ON A BEACH.

Abstract

Refraction of dispersive type waves on a beach is predicted adequately by use of Snell's Law. Amplitudes of the refracted waves on a beach are predicted adequately by a modified form of Green's Law when the amplitude at one point '7' e.g., the toe of the beach, is known. (Author)
