Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticeable, but upon reaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of a six-story building. One tsunami, generated off the Aleutian islands in Alaska, had a wavelength of 788 km and traveled a distance of 4000 km in 5.27 hr. What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave? For reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 250 m/s.

Two earthquakes waves of the same frequency travel through the same medium, one wave has 3 times the energy of the other. What is the ratio of the amplitudes of the two waves? If the first wave strikes a boundary between two mediums traveling at 10 Km/sec at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees, causing an angle of refraction of 30 degrees. Calculate its velocity in the second medium.
