As ocean waves approach the shore, friction with the ocean bottom causes them to slow down. if the frequency is the same, how will this affect the wavelength of the waves?

    You can show that surface gravity waves slow down with decreasing water deptheven when you assume zero viscosity. So any explanation that blames friction with the seabed, i. e. a boundary layer effect, for this phenomenon is misguided. (No offense intended to anyone.)
