Wave Height in Harbor Oscillations Formulas

Wave Height is formed when two equal waves are going in opposite direction and create the usual up/down motion of the water surface, but the waves don’t progress. And is denoted by H_wave. Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wave Height is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Wave Height?

Wave Height is formed when two equal waves are going in opposite direction and create the usual up/down motion of the water surface, but the waves don’t progress. Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wave Height is always positive.

Can the Wave Height be negative?

No, the Wave Height, measured in Length cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Wave Height?

Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Wave Height can be measured.
