Actually waves do not travel far at all as it is the motion of the water (in an up down up) relationship. Hence an event that causes the waves (such as wind, the most common causes of waves) will not be the same water that arrives shore side. Hence the wave motion can travel around the world (in extreme circumstances) yet the water will only have traveled inches or feet. You can test this as you swim in an ocean and have the wave go over your head. Notice the pulling up and pushing down as it passes overhead. Floating an object will show the same.

A search light half mile from a straight shore rotates at the rate of 2 revpmin how fast is the spot of light from the search light moving along the shore when it is 1mile from the point on the shore?
The spot of light will travel twice around in one minute, so it will travel 2C where C=2*Pi*r. 2C=4*Pi*r = 4*Pi ~= 12.57 miles So, the spot of light travels 12.57 miles/minute or 754.2 mph.
These usually result from wind and can travel hundreds of miles before they reach the shore.?
These phenomena are typically referred to as ocean waves, which are generated by wind blowing across the surface of the water. As the wind transfers energy to the water, waves can form and travel vast distances across the ocean. When they finally reach the shore, they can create various effects, such as erosion and the formation of beaches. The size and strength of waves depend on factors like wind speed, duration, and the distance over which they travel, known as the fetch.
