FACTOID # 74: More than a third of the time, Icelanders don't show up for work. Perhaps that's why they're the world's happiest nation.

Encyclopedia > Wave velocity

Wave velocity is a general concept, of various kinds of wave velocities, for an electromagnetic wave's phase and speed concerning energy (and information) propagation. The relationship between group velocity and phase velocity is the dispersion relationship.

Wave velocity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (200 words)
Wave velocity is a general concept, of various kinds of wave velocities, for an electromagnetic wave's phase and speed concerning energy (and information) propagation.
The relationship between group velocity and phase velocity is the dispersion relationship.
The universal wave equation is v=fλ, where v is the speed the wave travels (in m/s), f is the frequency (in Hz, 1Hz=1/s), and λ is the wavelength (in m).
News 3 (809 words)
All types of waves have some common features, such as the wave speed (how fast the wave moves), the amplitude of the wave, and the frequency or period of the wave.
Note that for MOST waves, the speed of the wave is normally fairly constant and is independent of the wave frequency and amplitude.
Deep water waves are waves that have a wavelength which is much smaller than the depth of the water.
