Question

the waves of a tsunami are traveling at 6mi/min . it takes a wave 1 hour to complete one period. what is the length between wave peaks?

Answer 1

360 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave speed = 6 miles/minute

Time period = 60 minutes

Wave speed = Wavelength/Time period

6 miles/minute = Wavelength / 60 minutes

6 miles x 60 minutes = Wavelength x 1 minute

360 miles = Wavelength

Therefore, the length between wave peaks (wavelength) of the tsunami waves in this scenario is 360 miles.

Hope it help! :)
