Ans: i) A ii) D iii)B iv) B
b. Defne phase velocity and group velocity. Show that group velocity is same as
particle velocity.
Ans: If a poi nt is i magi ned to marked on a travel i ng wave, then it becomes a representative
poi nt for a particular phase of the wave, and the vel ocity wi th whi ch it is transpored
is cal led
The phase velocity is al so the wave veloci t.
The phase vel oci ty of the wave is given by,
V V
r/k
phase ph
The vel oci ty wi th whi ch the wave packet- whi ch is formed due to the superposition of
two or more waves of sl i ghtly di fferent wavel engths i s transmitted is called as group
velocity. T.te group velocity of the wave is given by,
