The ship in Figure P14.35 travels along a straight line parallel to the shore and a distance d = 600 m from it. The ship’s radio receives simultaneous signals of the same frequency from antennas A and B , separated by a distance L = 800 m. The signals interfere constructively at point C , which is equidistant from A and B. The signal goes through the first minimum at point D , which is directly outward from the shore from point B . Determine the wavelength of the radio waves.

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
