Cnoidal wave is the wave height, "λ" is the wavelength, "c" is the phase speed and "η" is the trough elevation. Further cn is one of the Jacobi elliptic functions and "K"("m") is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind; both are dependent on the elliptic parameter "m". The latter, "m", determines the shape of the cnoidal wave. For "m" equal to zero the cnoidal wave becomes a cosine function, while for values close to one the cnoidal wave gets peaked crests and (very) flat troughs. For values of "m" less than 0.95, the cnoidal function can be approximated with trigonometric
Sound power temperature, the sound power level at distance "r" from the sound source is approximately related to sound pressure level (SPL) by where Derivation of this equation: For a "progressive" spherical wave, where "z" is the characteristic specific acoustic impedance. Consequently, and since by definition , where is the reference sound pressure, The sound power estimated practically does not depend on distance. The sound pressure used in the calculation may be affected by distance due to viscous effects in the propagation of sound unless this is accounted for. Sound power Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound
