Question

An earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean can create a giant wave called a tsunami. A very large tsunami occurred recently in the Indian Ocean. Typical tsunamis have very long wavelengths in the open ocean, about 200.0 km (about 125.0 miles). They are almost undetectable in the open ocean as well, since their amplitudes range from only a few centimeters to one meter. Tsunamis travel very fast: A typical speed for a tsunami is 700.0 km/h. What is the period (in minutes) for a tsunami with this speed? What is its frequency (in Hz)? Tsunamis also aren't just one large wave pulse that crashes on shore: They are usually made up of a wave train several wavelengths long. What would be the time between two successive wave crests reaching the shore?
