How to Evaluate Spectral Width?

Spectral Width evaluator uses Spectral Width = sqrt((Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum*Moment of Wave Spectrum 2/Moment of Wave Spectrum 1^2)-1) to evaluate the Spectral Width, The Spectral Width is the wavelength interval over which the magnitude of all spectral components is equal to or greater than a specified fraction of the magnitude of the component having the maximum value. Spectral Width is denoted by v symbol.

How to evaluate Spectral Width using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Spectral Width, enter Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum (m0), Moment of Wave Spectrum 2 (m2) & Moment of Wave Spectrum 1 (m1) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Spectral Width

What is the formula to find Spectral Width?
The formula of Spectral Width is expressed as Spectral Width = sqrt((Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum*Moment of Wave Spectrum 2/Moment of Wave Spectrum 1^2)-1). Here is an example- 9.578622 = sqrt((265*1.4/2^2)-1).
How to calculate Spectral Width?
With Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum (m0), Moment of Wave Spectrum 2 (m2) & Moment of Wave Spectrum 1 (m1) we can find Spectral Width using the formula - Spectral Width = sqrt((Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum*Moment of Wave Spectrum 2/Moment of Wave Spectrum 1^2)-1). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
