Double Path Measurement Formula Elements

Variables
Double Path
Double path is the distance travelled by the wave multiplied by 2.
Symbol: 2D
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Integer part of Wave Length
Integer part of wave length is the coarser part of the larger wavelength measurement while the finer part is determined more accurately from the smaller wavelength measurement.
Symbol: M
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wavelength
Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Fraction of Wavelength
Fraction of wavelength is the value we get when wavelength is multiplied to the phase difference.
Symbol: δλ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
