This function computes the radar wave number \(k\) for a SeaSonde radar system based on its wavelength. The wave number represents the spatial frequency of the radar wave.
Details
The radar wave number \(k\) is calculated using the formula: \(k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\) where:
\(\lambda\) is the radar wavelength in meters, calculated using
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength.\(2 \pi\) represents the relationship between the wavelength and wave number.
The wave number is an essential parameter for analyzing radar signals and their interaction with the medium being measured.
