Figure 13. A diving wave from origin O to maximum depth D and back to the horizontal axis. It is called a diving wave because it plunges into the ground and comes up to the surface, not by reflection but by making a U-turn. Because depth is plotted upward, the diving wave appears inverted. The wavefront though the maximum depth point is also shown.
