1) Write an algebraic expression for the particle speed (cps) at the sea surface for deep-water waves in terms of period T and wave amplitude a.
2) Consider a wave with a wavelength L = 500 m and amplitude a = 2 m. Compute the ratio of the phase speed c divided by the particle speed (cps) using your expression from part b?
2.wave velocity = 27.92 m/s
phase velocity = 13.96 m/s
orbital velocity v(cps)= (a*cw)/wavelength = 0.11168 cps
the ratio is 125
