(c) Which of the following physical quantity decreases when the water waves
propagated from the sea to the beach?
Tick (√) in the correct box. [1 mark]
Speed Wavelength Frequency

(d) The water waves with a wavelength of 1.2 m travels with velocity 2.5 ms -1 from
the sea to the beach. The velocity of the waves when reaching the beach is 1.8 ms -1.
