A group of students investigate how the speed and wavelengths of waves change (Table 20). The waves are refracted across a boundary between two different materials. Table 2 Before refraction Speed in m/s

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
