A Seiche Is a Standing Wave That Occurs Due to Resonant

question 4

Essay

A seiche is a standing wave that occurs due to resonant conditions on the
surface of lakes and enclosed ocean bays. It is the result of surface perturbations caused by phenomena such as seismic activities or weather conditions. The period of a seiche is approximated by the expression $$T = \frac { 2 L } { \sqrt { g h } }$$
where $L$ is the length of the resonant enclosed region, $g$ is the gravitational acceleration, and $h$ is the mean water depth. Lake Ontario is particularly susceptible to seiches. Calculate the period of a seiche along the length of Lake Ontario.
