Why Do Water Waves Refract In Shallow Water? [Solved]

Refraction happens because the speed of the wave changes. Light travels slower (compared to its speed in air) in a more dense material like glass. The wavelength will also decrease in order to keep the frequency constant. Water waves travel slower in shallower water.
