Abstract: The objective of this paper is to justify rigorously the ray method originally developed by Keller [6] for linear water waves over a two-dimensional gently sloping beach. The approximate formula for eigenvalues of the linear water wave problem and the uniform ray method expansion at and near a shoreline are all consequences of the justification.
