Calculate phase speed of gravity waves propagating in the 20‐m deep ocean if the wave length is (i) 100 m; (ii) 30 m; (iii) 5 m. Which (if any) approximation do you use? How does it compare with the exact solution?
A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more crests pass in a time of 34.2 s. The distance between two successive crests is 39.5 m. What is the wave's (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) wavelength, and (d) speed?
9) What three factors determine ocean wave height in deep water? (3 pts)
ANSWERS 5 - 12 5. A wave has a wavelength of 300 kilometers, and is traveling in water that is 400 meters deep. What type of wave is this? A) Deep-water B) Shallow-water C) Transitional 6. A wave has a wavelength of 10 centimeters, and is moving through water 90 centimeters deep. What type of wave is this? A) Deep-water B) Shallow-water C) Transitional 7. A wave has a wavelength of 12 meters, and is moving through water 3 meters...
A certain ocean wave has a wave function given by the formula: where y(x, t) is the position of a water molecule above sea level at time t at a distance a from the origin. All distances are given in meters and times are given in seconds. If you and I are standing 10 m apart along the path of the wave (i.e. I am 10 m "downstream" from you), how long after the wave passes you will it take...
If you were in a boat and wanted to know how deep the water was, you could use SONAR. Sound waves are emitted from the surface of the ocean and travel through the water at 1450 m/s. The ocean bottom is 1630 m below the surface. Determine the amount of time that passes before the sound waves are reflected back to the surface. Don't get tricked by this one. 0 1.1 sec 04.1 sec 0 2.2 sec 0.76 sec O...
How deep should be ocean to enhance physiologically harmful infrasonic waves of 6 Hz frequency? Take 1.47 km/s for the speed of sound in water and find the minimum and next to minimum depths of the ocean. The minimum depth, h1 = The next to minimum depth, h2 = What is the length of the string if the speed of wave is 255 m/s? The length of the string, L = The frequency of a radio station is 88 MHz....
A boat is traveling at 4.8 m/s in the same direction as an ocean wave of wavelength 30 m and speed 6.8 m/s. If the boat is on the crest of a wave, how much time will elapse until the boat is next on a crest?
A stationary storm system in the mid-Atlantic creates long ocean waves whose wavelength is 64.4 m. It takes the waves 3.90 days to travel from the storm to Miami, Florida (U.S.). These waves pass under a bird that is floating in the ocean. Starting from a trough, 3.21 s pass before the bird is next on a crest. How far is the storm from Miami? You are standing 3.08 m from a loudspeaker and you detect an intensity level of...
