Wavelength given Wave Steepness Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wavelength = Wave Height/Wave Steepness
λ = H/ε_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the horizontal distance between successive crests (or troughs) of a wave. It provides crucial information about the size and shape of waves propagating in water bodies.
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 Steepness - Wave Steepness is the ratio of wave height to wavelength in a wave train. It is a fundamental parameter used to understand and mitigate risks associated with waves in marine environments.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Height: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Wave Steepness: 0.12 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

λ = H/ε_s --> 3/0.12

What are Water Waves?

water wave. Wave, a ridge or swell on the surface of a body of water, normally having a forward motion distinct from the oscillatory motion of the particles that successively compose it. 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.

How to Calculate Wavelength given Wave Steepness?

Wavelength given Wave Steepness calculator uses Wavelength = Wave Height/Wave Steepness to calculate the Wavelength, The Wavelength given Wave Steepness formula is defined as the distance between identical points (adjacent crests) in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space. Wavelength is denoted by λ symbol.
