STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Energy Density of Wave = Total Energy of Wave per Width/Wavelength
U = TE/λ
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Energy Density of Wave - (Measured in Joule per Cubic Meter) - Energy Density of Wave is the amount of energy the wave carries per unit volume or unit area of the medium through which it propagates.
Total Energy of Wave per Width - (Measured in Joule per Meter) - Total Energy of Wave per Width is the sum of its kinetic energy and its potential energy.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength refers to the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Energy of Wave per Width: 20.26 Joule per Meter --> 20.26 Joule per Meter No Conversion Required
Wavelength: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required
