Question

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately _______.

Answer 1

The speed of the wave  is mathematically given as

v=2266.66m/s

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately v=2266.66m/s

Speed of the wave

Question Parameters:

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes

Generally the equation for the Wave velocity  is mathematically given as

v=\lambda * frequency

Where

f=1/t

Therefore

v=\lambda * frequency

v=\lambda * 1/t

Therefore, with wavelenght of the ocean as 34km

v=34*1000*1/15

v=2266.66m/s
