In summary, the conversation discusses the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, which has the highest tides in the world. The conversation also mentions the Moon's gravity and the Earth's rotation causing water surface oscillations and the possibility of standing wave resonance. The conversation also debates whether the bay is considered open-closed or closed-closed.

Hard Wave Question (Really need help pleasez!)

The Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, has the highest tides in the world. Assume that in midocean and at the mouth of the bay, the Moon’s gravity gradient and the Earth’s rotation make the water surface oscillate with an amplitude of a few entimeters and a period of 12 hours and 24 minutes. At the head of the bay, the amplitude is several metres. Argue for or against the proposition that the tide is magnified by standing wave resonance. Assume that the bay has a length of 210 km and a uniform depth of 36.1 m. The speed of long-wavelength water waves is given by [tex]\sqrt{gd}[/tex], where d is the water’s depth.

Huh...?What do I do?

Thanks!

I think open-closed (open being the ocean, closed being a rock shore barrier type of thing)
 

FAQ: Hard Wave Question (Really )

What is a "Hard Wave Question"?

A "Hard Wave Question" is a type of scientific question that is complex and challenging to answer. It often requires extensive research, experimentation, and critical thinking to find a solution.

Why are "Hard Wave Questions" important in science?

"Hard Wave Questions" are important in science because they push the boundaries of knowledge and understanding. By asking difficult questions, scientists can make groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in their field.

How do scientists approach "Hard Wave Questions"?

Scientists approach "Hard Wave Questions" by first breaking down the question into smaller, more manageable parts. They then use the scientific method, which involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing data to find an answer.

What are some examples of "Hard Wave Questions"?

Examples of "Hard Wave Questions" may include "What causes cancer?", "How can we reverse climate change?", or "What is the origin of the universe?" These questions are complex and have yet to be fully answered by scientists.

What skills are needed to tackle "Hard Wave Questions"?
