Livingston Particle Physics iii. 49 Consider a pulse of water waves originating from the point where a stone strikes the water, and focus on a particular wave crest... The velocity with which the general disturbance moves is the group velocity; the velocity of the wave crest relative to the water is the phase velocity. 2001 Analog Sept. 45/2 Conventional physics allows the phase velocity to exceed the speed of light, although the group velocity (the speed at which information is actually conveyed) must be less than c. < as lemmas |
