STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Height = sqrt(Potential Energy per Unit Width/(0.0625*Density of Fluid*[g]*Wavelength))
H = sqrt(PE/(0.0625*ρ*[g]*λ))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Potential Energy per Unit Width - (Measured in Joule per Meter) - Potential Energy per Unit Width is the amount of potential energy stored per unit distance along the width of a body or structure.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is the mass of fluid per unit volume of the fluid.
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

Potential Energy per Unit Width: 10.13 Joule per Meter --> 10.13 Joule per Meter No Conversion Required

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.
