The Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, has the highest tidesin the world. Assume in midocean and at the mouthof the bay the Moons gravity gradient and the Earthsrotation make the water surface oscillate with an amplitudeof a few centimeters and a period of 12 h 24 min.At the head of the bay, the amplitude is several meters.Assume the bay has a length of 210 km and a uniformdepth of 36.1 m. The speed of long-wavelength waterwaves is given by v 5 !gd, where d is the waters depth.Argue for or against the proposition that the tide ismagnified by standing-wave resonance.
