The English Channel is 35 km wide at its narrowest point, which is where most swimmers attempt to cross north to south from England to France. The current across this portion of the English Channel runs at about 2 km/h east to west. a. If a swimmer has a relative velocity to the shore of 3 km/h north to south, how long will it take her to cross the 35 km distance?

b. What must be her velocity relative to the water if she has a velocity of 3 km/h north to south relative to the shore?

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
