Speed of a wave
2 Answers
Has anyone got a link, about water waves and speed of propagation? Having only seen the Severn Bore, I think a tsunami speed of hundreds of miles an hours is on the high size. The videos of the waves once it had landed seemed only a few metres a second. (sorry to mix my units)
