The longer the wavelength is on a wave, the slower the wave energy moves through the water. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
ANS: F
The longer the wavelength, the faster the wave energy moves through the water. This is why wave
trains with longer wavelengths reach shore before the shorter wave trains. Information can be found in
the section The Behavior of Waves Is Influenced by the Depth of Water through Which They Are
Moving.
