Tsunamis are fast-moving waves generated by underwater earthquakes.In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticeable, but uponreaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of asix-story building. One tsunami, generated off the Aleutian islandsin Alaska, had a wavelength of 650 km andtraveled a distance of 3700 km in 5.2 h.
(a) What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave?For reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 250 m/s.

(b) Find the wave's frequency.
Hz
(c) Find the wave's period.
