Question 18
Easy

A geophysicist is analyzing a satellite radar interferogram showing a sequence of ground deformation waves propagating outwards from a volcanic rift zone.

Radar interferogram of a volcanic zone showing periodic ground deformation fringes with a scale bar.

Describe how the geophysicist could determine an accurate value for the wavelength of these waves using the scale bar.
