Dear student,
To determine the amount of wave energy, use an equation to calculate the amount of energy based on the height of a wave. First, determine the amount of energy for every square meter of wave, the energy (joules) is equal to 1260.6 times the square of the wave height.
|
Wave Energy = 1260.6 (Wave Height)2 |
2. To determine the Total Energy in a wave, calculate the total surface area of the wave and multiply that by the wave energy.
|
Total Energy = Wave Energy (surface area of wave) |
For example, calculate the energy for an average open water wave that is 2 meters high, 7 meters wide and 500 meters long:
|
Wave Energy = 1260.6 (Wave Height)2
Wave Energy = 1260.6 (2)m2 Wave Energy = 1260.6 (4)m2 Wave Energy = 5042.4 Joules/m2 Hope this helps.
