Wave Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wave Speed = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Number for Water Wave
v = ω/k
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Wave Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wave Speed is the rate at which a wave travels through a medium, measured in distance per unit time.
Wave Angular Frequency - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Wave Angular Frequency angular displacement of the wave per unit time. Its units are therefore degrees (or radians) per second.
Wave Number for Water Wave - The wave number for water waves quantifies the number of waves per unit length along the surface of the water.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wave Angular Frequency: 6.2 Radian per Second --> 6.2 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
Wave Number for Water Wave: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
v = ω/k --> 6.2/0.2
Evaluating ... ...
v = 31
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
31 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
31 Meter per Second <-- Wave Speed
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

9 Group Velocity, Beats, Energy Transport Calculators

Wave Speed given Group Velocity
Go Wave Speed = Group Velocity of Waves/(0.5*(1+((Wave Number for Water Wave*Mean Depth)/(sinh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Mean Depth)*cosh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Mean Depth)))))
Group Velocity of Waves
Go Group Velocity of Waves = 0.5*Wave Speed*(1+((Wave Number for Water Wave*Mean Depth)/(sinh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Mean Depth)*cosh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Mean Depth))))
Surface Elevation
Go Surface Elevation = (Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/2)*cos((Wave Number for Water Wave*Propagation of Wave in One Direction)-(Wave Angular Frequency*Time))
Radian Frequency given Wave Propagation
Go Wave Angular Frequency = Wave Number for Water Wave*Propagation of Wave in One Direction
Total Energy per unit of Area given Wave Power per unit Crest Width
Go Total Energy per unit of Area = Wave Power per unit Crest Width/Group Velocity of Waves
Group Velocity given Wave Power per unit Crest Width
Go Group Velocity of Waves = Wave Power per unit Crest Width/Total Energy per unit of Area
Wave Power per unit Crest Width
Go Wave Power per unit Crest Width = Total Energy per unit of Area*Group Velocity of Waves
Wavenumber given Wave Speed
Go Wave Number for Water Wave = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Speed
Wave Speed
Go Wave Speed = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Number for Water Wave

Wave Speed Formula

Wave Speed = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Number for Water Wave
v = ω/k

What is wave power and how does it work?

Wave power is produced by the up and down motion of floating devices placed on the surface of the ocean. In other words, wind produces waves, and then waves produce energy. As the waves travel across the ocean, high-tech devices capture the natural movements of ocean currents and the flow of swells to generate power.

How to Calculate Wave Speed?

Wave Speed calculator uses Wave Speed = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Number for Water Wave to calculate the Wave Speed, Wave Speed is how fast the wave travels and is determined by the properties of the medium in which the wave is moving. Wave Speed is denoted by v symbol.

How to calculate Wave Speed using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Wave Speed, enter Wave Angular Frequency (ω) & Wave Number for Water Wave (k) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Wave Speed calculation can be explained with given input values -> 31 = 6.2/0.2.

FAQ

What is Wave Speed?
Wave Speed is how fast the wave travels and is determined by the properties of the medium in which the wave is moving and is represented as v = ω/k or Wave Speed = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Number for Water Wave. Wave Angular Frequency angular displacement of the wave per unit time. Its units are therefore degrees (or radians) per second & The wave number for water waves quantifies the number of waves per unit length along the surface of the water.
How to calculate Wave Speed?
Wave Speed is how fast the wave travels and is determined by the properties of the medium in which the wave is moving is calculated using Wave Speed = Wave Angular Frequency/Wave Number for Water Wave. To calculate Wave Speed, you need Wave Angular Frequency (ω) & Wave Number for Water Wave (k). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Wave Angular Frequency & Wave Number for Water Wave and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
