Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a certain transmission medium allows a phase velocity of 2x10^8 m/s and has a group velocity of 1.5x10^8 m/s, calculate the ratio of phase velocity to group velocity.

💡 Hint: Divide phase velocity by group velocity to find the ratio.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how the understanding of both velocities can aid in the design of effective RF communication systems.

💡 Hint: Consider the roles of data integrity and signal delay.
