A wave with a height of 5 feet and a wavelength of 15 feet has a wave base of___.
dmitriy555 [2]

A wave with a height of 5 feet and a wavelength of 15 feet has a wave base of <u>7.5 feet</u>.

A. 7.5 feet

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wave base defines the depth of the water when it is in still condition.

Wave base is half of wavelength.

Wave base = wavelength/2

Given,

Wavelength = 15 feet

So, wave base = 15 feet/2 = 7.5 feet

When the wave height is divided by wavelength then it gives the steepness of the wave.

Therefore, the wave base is 7.5feet.

Which of the following steps in preparation of a fully mature eukaryotic mRNA occurs within the nucleus?
kogti [31]

Answer: e. All of the above
