Question 1

What is dispersion in wave phenomena?

  • Wave speed is constant
  • Wave speed varies with frequency
  • Wave motion is limited
  • None of the above

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how different colors in light travel at different speeds.

Question 2

Phase velocity is defined as:

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: What do we mean by a specific phase?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A string is vibrating, creating waves at different frequencies. If the phase velocity is 150 m/s and you have two frequencies, 50 Hz and 75 Hz, how does the wave shape evolve over time?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of varying frequencies and their speeds on wave shape.

Question 2

Derive an expression for group velocity given a nonlinear dispersion relation where Ο‰(k) = ak^2 + bk + c. Determine vg.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Differentiate the dispersion relation with respect to k.
