WHAT DOES PHASE SPEED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Phase velocity

The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space. This is the velocity at which the phase of any one frequency component of the wave travels. For such a component, any given phase of the wave will appear to travel at the phase velocity. The phase velocity is given in terms of the wavelength λ and period T as Or, equivalently, in terms of the wave's angular frequency ω, which specifies angular change per unit of time, and wavenumber k, which represents the proportionality between the angular frequency ω and the linear speed νp: To understand where this equation comes from, imagine a basic sine wave, A cos . Given time t, the source produces ωt/2π = ft oscillations. At the same time, the initial wave front propagates away from the source through the space to the distance x to fit the same amount of oscillations, kx = ωt. So that the propagation velocity v is v = x/t = ω/k.

Definition of phase speed in the English dictionary

The definition of phase speed in the dictionary is the speed at which the phase of a wave is propagated, the product of the frequency times the wavelength. This is the quantity that is determined by methods using interference. In a dispersive medium it differs from the group speed Also called: wave speed, wave velocity.
