Answer:

2000 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is it's frequency * wavelength. In this case, the frequency is 0.25 Hz (waves per second) and the wavelength is 8000m. So the speed of the wave will be 0.25Hz * 8000m which is 2000 meters per second.

A tsunami when hits north California, its speed will be 2000m/s.

What is tsunami?

The tsunami caused by the movement of tectonic plates at the sea or ocean floor or due to large volcanic activities . These are high energy waves that can destroy everything.

What is speed?

Speed was the pace as well as the direction of an object's movement, whereas speed would be the time rate whereby an object is traveling along a path. In other words, velocity is just a vector, whereas speed would be a scalar value.

In the question, given data is ,

frequency (n) = 0.25 Hz.

Wavelength (λ) = 8000msince

speed of wave  (v) = n.λ

on putting values.    

v = 0.25×8000 =2000m/s

Hence, the speed of the wave is 2000m/s.
