What does the speed of sound measure?
sound waves
How do you measure the frequency of the wave?
Since there are several kinds of waves, there are several ways to measure their frequency. Electrical waves can be measured with a frequency counter, an analog frequency meter or an oscilloscope. Ocean waves' frequency is measured with a stopwatch, but most people who measure ocean waves want to know how large they are rather than how fast they're coming.
What speed do waves move at?
it deepens if it is a wave in the ocean or a sound wave
What does Geosat measure?
a.the height of the ocean b. the change in the oceans land forms c.the direction and speed of the oceans currents or d.the velocity of the waves hitting the shore
What technique uses sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean floor?
Sonar.
What is a tsunameter?
Tsunameters are devices installed in the ocean to detect and measure the waves of a tsunami
Which is not about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
Which is not true about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters these waves pass by a stationary boat every 2.0 seconds the speed of the waves is?
5m/s...
What instrument measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves?
'Sonar". And determines depth. The ocean floor topography can be mapped by 'sonar scanning'.
What two pieces of information are needed to map the ocean depth using sonar?
speed and sound waves
