If that's not right could you possibly help me out with a example using different numbers?

Thanks for the welcome Redbelly98. So in the case of my problem: A wavelength of 1500 feet with a 15-second period, originating at a distance of 5000 miles from the destination. the wave would travel 6000ft in 60 secs or 100ft/sec (100 feet/sec) x (3600 sec/hr) = (360,000ft per hour) x (1...

Homework Statement A fierce winter storm blows across a large fetch of the South Pacific near the Antarctic. The waves it generates have a wavelength of 1500 feet with a 15-second period. They originate at a distance of 5000 miles from your favorite Hawaiian surfing beach. How many days will...

Homework Statement The spectrum of a quasar with a redshift of 0.20 contains two sets of absorption lines, redshifted by 0.15 and 0.155, respectively. If h0 = 70 km/s/Mpc, estimate the distance between the intervening galaxies responsible for the two sets of lines. Homework Equations H0= 70...
