4 BRETSCHNEIDER SPECTRUM DEFINITION4 Bretschneider Spectrum DefinitionThe formula for the Bretschneider (one-sided) ocean wave spectrum is5S(ω) =ω4m164H2 551/3e− ωm/4ω4ωwhere ω is frequency in radians per second, ωmis the modal (most likely) frequencygiven wave, and H1/3is the significant wave height. Make a single figure that shoBretschneider spectrum (S as a function of ω) for these cases:SeaState 2π/ωm, sec H1/3, m2 6.3 0.33 7.5 0.94 8.8 1.95 9.7 3.36 12.4 5.0Here is the MATLAB code I used and the resulting figure:%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 2.017 Homework 1.
