Wave Number given Wave Celerity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Number = Wave Angular Frequency/Celerity of the Wave
k = ω/C
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Number - Wave Number is the spatial frequency of a wave, measured in cycles per unit distance or radians per unit distance.
Wave Angular Frequency - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Wave Angular Frequency is the rate of change of the phase of the wave over time, given by the symbol ω (omega).
Celerity of the Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Celerity of the Wave refers to the speed at which a wave propagates through a medium.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Angular Frequency: 6.2 Radian per Second --> 6.2 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
Celerity of the Wave: 24.05 Meter per Second --> 24.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = ω/C --> 6.2/24.05

Evaluating ... ...

k = 0.257796257796258

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.257796257796258 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.257796257796258 ≈ 0.257796 <-- Wave Number
