...depth equal to the length of the wave the motion is diminished to TJ Yi- of that at the surface. (d) When the length of the wave is great in comparison with the depth of the water, as in the case of tide waves, the horizontal motion is sensibly the same from the surface to the bottom, and the vertical... | |

When the length of the wave is great in comparison with the depth of the water, (as in the case of tide-waves,) the horizontal motion is sensibly the same from the surface to the bottom, and the vertical motion for different particles varies in the same...
