An earthquake can produce a seiche in a lake in which the water sloshes back and forth from end to end with remarkably large amplitude and long period. Consider a seiche produced in a farm pond. Assume the pond is 8.28 m long and assume it has a uniform width and depth. You gauge that a pulse produced at one end reaches the other end in 2.60 s.
