Answer:
Explanation:
If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.
The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.
We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is
and filling in:
so
v = 2.5(2.0) and
v = 5.0 m/s
The average velocity is 12.5 meters per second
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Satellite
Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
- <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface. The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
- Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.
Use: dsin(θ) = mλ where d is slit separation, m is fringe order (7), and
θ = tan⁻¹(0.028/1.1) = 1.458deg
Now λ = dsin(θ) /m = (1.6e-4)(sin(1.458))/7 = 5.96e-7 or λ = 596 nm
