On December 26, 2004, a great earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) that killed some 200000 people. Satellites observing these waves from space measured 800 kmkm from one wave crest to the next and a period between waves of 1.0 hour. Part A What was the speed of these waves in m/sm/s

Explanation:

Given that,

200,000 people where killed due to earth quake in December 2004

Satellite observing measure a wavelength of 800km crest to crest

Crest to crest implies one wavelength

λ = 800km = 800,000m

Period of One hour

T = 1 hour = 3600s

Then, we want to find speed of wave.

Using wave equation

v = fλ

Where

f is frequency in Hz

v is speed of wave in m/s

λ is wavelength in m

Where f = 1 / T

Then, v = λ / T

v = 800,000 / 3600

v = 222.22 m/s

Then, the speed of the wave is 222.22 m/s

12000j is work done

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.

not copied too! hope this !

h o h o hope you have a merry christmas!
