OCR: Demonstrate Leonardo was also interested in how running waves reflect back from the shore or from an obstacle they strike. This was important information for an engineer, in that it showed how waves might cause erosion along beaches and riverbanks. In this drawing, Leonardo depicts a circular wave as it meets a protruding barrier and reflects off the protrusion in a circular pattern. The same reflection pattern can be seen in the experiment duplicated here.
