Wave refraction on an irregular shoreline

Wave refraction. The manner in which waves are refracted on an irregular shoreline. It is assumed that the water is deeper off the bay off the headlands. Consider that the original wabe is divided into three equal segments A-B, B-C, and C-D. Each segment has the same potential energy. But observe that by the time the wave reaches the shore the energy of A-B and C-D has concentrated along the short shoreline of headlands A'-B' and C'-D', while the energy of B-C has been dispersed over a greater front (B'-C') around the bay. Thus there is more energy available for erosion per unit of shoreline on the headlands than there is along the bay. Leet and Judson, 1958, p. 310.
