Relative Wavelength Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Relative Wavelength = Deep-Water Wavelength/Coastal Mean Depth
λ_r = λ_o/d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Relative Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Relative Wavelength is the relative distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves.
Deep-Water Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Deep-Water Wavelength is the horizontal distance between two successive crests (or troughs) of the wave.
Coastal Mean Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Coastal Mean Depth of a fluid flow is a measure of the average depth of the fluid in a channel, pipe, or other conduit through which the fluid is flowing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Deep-Water Wavelength: 7 Meter --> 7 Meter No Conversion Required
Coastal Mean Depth: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required

What is Wave Number?

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.

How to Calculate Relative Wavelength?

Relative Wavelength calculator uses Relative Wavelength = Deep-Water Wavelength/Coastal Mean Depth to calculate the Relative Wavelength, The Relative Wavelength is defined as how fast the wave travels and is determined by the properties of the medium in which the wave is moving. Relative Wavelength is denoted by λ_r symbol.

How to calculate Relative Wavelength using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Wavelength, enter Deep-Water Wavelength (λ_o) & Coastal Mean Depth (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Wavelength calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.7 = 7/10.

FAQ

What is Relative Wavelength?

The Relative Wavelength is defined as how fast the wave travels and is determined by the properties of the medium in which the wave is moving and is represented as λ_r = λ_o/d or Relative Wavelength = Deep-Water Wavelength/Coastal Mean Depth. Deep-Water Wavelength is the horizontal distance between two successive crests (or troughs) of the wave & Coastal Mean Depth of a fluid flow is a measure of the average depth of the fluid in a channel, pipe, or other conduit through which the fluid is flowing.

How to calculate Relative Wavelength?
