Wave Height given Wave Amplitude Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Height = 2*Wave Amplitude
H = 2*a
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height is the vertical distance between the trough (lowest point) and the crest (highest point) of a wave. The average height of the highest third of the waves in a given wave dataset.
Wave Amplitude - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Amplitude is the maximum height or vertical distance between the crest (peak) and the trough (lowest point) of a wave.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Amplitude: 1.56 Meter --> 1.56 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = 2*a --> 2*1.56

Evaluating ... ...

H = 3.12

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.12 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.12 Meter <-- Wave Height

What are Water Waves ?

Water waves are considered oscillatory or nearly oscillatory if the motion described by the water particles is circular orbits that are closed or nearly closed for each wave period. The linear theory represents pure oscillatory waves.
