Which quantity is the wavenumber of a wave?
Answer: A
The wavenumber is defined as two pi divided by the wavelength and gives the number of radians of phase per unit distance. The number of oscillations per second is the frequency, and the distance travelled per oscillation is the wavelength itself. In meteorology a zonal wavenumber is often quoted instead as the number of complete waves around a latitude circle, which is a different convention worth noticing when reading the literature. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
