Wave motionAnswered question
Mark Elliott 2022-08-13An earthquake can produce a seiche in a lake in which the water sloshes back and forth from end to end with remarkably large amplitude and long period. Consider a seiche produced in a farm pond. Suppose the pond is 9.15 m long and assume it has a uniform width and depth. You measure that a pulse produced at one end reaches the other end in 2.50 s. (a) What is the wave speed? (6) What should be the frequency of the ground motion during the earthquake to produce a seiche that is a standing wave with antinodes at each end of the pond and one node at the center?
Physics can be tricky, and understanding seiche waves, their equations and answers can be difficult. But help is available, and a better understanding of seiche waves can be achieved by breaking down the equations, understanding the answers and learning how seiche waves work. Seiche waves are a type of standing wave, and are formed when water in a basin oscillates between two points, often due to wind and atmospheric pressure changes. The equations used to calculate the height, period and length of seiche waves are complex and may require help from our experts. With the right guidance and a bit of practice, understanding seiche waves and their equations can be achieved.
