Imagine that your standing on a beach but cannot swim. Your friend encourages you to walk into the surf zone created by incoming deep-water waves that have a wavelength of 30 meters. Would it be safe to walk out to where the waves are breaking? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

It won't be safe to walk out to where the waves are breaking.

This is because the wavelength is 30 meters which is a characteristic of

areas with significant water depth in the range of 5-11 meters.Under these

conditions the waves are usually very fast and may get swept with the

current from the water waves when trying to run from it.

It is recommended that we stay in areas where the depth is noted as not

being much and should always seek help and clarity from the life guards so

as to prevent drowning and death.

It would not be safe to walk out to where waves are breaking due to the effect of rip currents

Explanation:

The water depth in the surf zone is between 5 to 10 meters deep and with a wavelength of 30 meters, the speed of the wave is considerably fast such that control for safety may be difficult

Also the speed of the wave is directly related to the depth of the water which means that where the wave described above is fast as well as the rip current, also the water depth is expected to be considerable for a non swimmer

It is best to seek for sign post regarding safe areas and do not go into the water where there are no lifeguards or marked safe zones.
