What is Wave Number?

The Wave number is the spatial frequency of a wave, measured in cycles per unit distance or radians per unit distance. Whereas temporal frequency can be thought of as the number of waves per unit time, wavenumber is the number of waves per unit distance.

Do waves have Potential Energy?

When particles in water become part of a wave, they start to move up or down. This means that some of their kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy – the energy of particles in a wave oscillates between kinetic and potential energy.

How to Calculate Potential Energy due to Deformation of Free Surface?

Potential Energy due to Deformation of Free Surface calculator uses Potential Energy of Wave = (Density of Fluid*[g]*Surface Elevation^2*Wavelength)/2 to calculate the Potential Energy of Wave, The Potential Energy due to Deformation of Free Surface formula is defined as the potential energy associated with the deformation of a free surface, such as an ocean wave, can be calculated using the principle of virtual work.
