Root Mean Square Surface Elevation given Significant Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

RMS Surface Elevation = Significant Wave Height/4
η_rms = H_s/4
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

RMS Surface Elevation - (Measured in Meter) - RMS Surface Elevation root mean square is a measure of the magnitude of a set of numbers. It gives a sense for the typical size of the numbers.
Significant Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Significant Wave Height is the mean wave height of the highest one-third of the waves.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Significant Wave Height: 65 Meter --> 65 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_rms = H_s/4 --> 65/4

Evaluating ... ...

η_rms = 16.25

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16.25 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

16.25 Meter <-- RMS Surface Elevation

What are the characteristics of progressive waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
