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.

Question

hand completes 3.2 back-and-forth cycles ev-
ery 3.05 s. The velocity of the pulse in the
spring is 1.25 cm/s.
