Formula: Definition of the Angular Wavenumber
Amplitude and wavelength of a wave

Angular wavenumber

Unit
Angular wave number indicates the covered phase angle of a wave per meter.

Wavelength

Unit
Wavelength is the smallest distance between two points of the same phase of a periodic wave. For example, the wavelength is the distance between two wave crests.
