Seiche

A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.

Check Your Understanding The equations for the wavelengths and the frequencies of the modes of a wave produced on a string: n=2nLn=1,2,3,4,5...andn=nv2L=nf1n=1,2,3,4,5... were derived by considering a wave on a string where there were symmetric boundary conditions of a node at each end. These modes resulted from two sinusoidal waves with identical characteristics except they were moving in opposite directions, confined to a region L with nodes required at both ends.Will the same equations work if there were symmetric boundary conditions with antinodes at each end? What would the normal modes look like for a medium that was free to oscillate on each end? Don’t worry for now if you cannot imagine such a medium, just consider two sinusoidal wave functions in a region of length L, with antinodes on each end.
