Semilog (applied to a graph) means that one scale is logarithmic, the other not. The prefix "semi-" means "half" or "partially". The scale that is not logarithmic is, of course, linear.

The x axis is the total distance travelled, and the y axis is base pair equivalent (how many base pairs it's made of). It should be a linear graph.
The relationship between log(period) and log(length) is linear, with slope 0.5 and intercept log(2*pi/sqrt(g))
Not necessarily. It depends on the graph "paper" used. For example, you can get semi-log graph paper in which the x-axis is normal but the y-axis has a logarithmic scale. This feature is available on Excel in "format axis". On such a coordinate system, an exponential equation becomes a straight line.
Either 8 feet (length) or 16 inches (width). As soon as you combine them you have a measure of area which cannot be expressed in linear feet.
The y-axis on a semi logarithmic chart is exponential. This way, when an exponential function is depicted in the chart, it will evolve as a linear function. You often do this to proove that the function is exponential and/or as a tool to help you find the equation for the function. For more see: http://www.answers.com/topic/semi-logarithmic-plot
