Phase Velocity and Group Velocity Dr J P SINGH

Wave ____________________________ Our traditional understanding of a wave…. “de-localized” – spread out in space and time

Waves Normal Waves Matter Waves are a disturbance in space carry energy from one place to another often (but not always) will (approximately) obey the classical wave equation Matter Waves disturbance is the wave function Y(x, y, z, t ) probability amplitude Y probability density p(x, y, z, t ) =|Y|2

General Wave properties

What could represent both wave and particle? How do we associate a wave nature to a particle? ___________________________________ What could represent both wave and particle? Find a description of a particle which is consistent with our notion of both particles and waves…… Fits the “wave” description “Localized” in space

____________________________________ A “Wave Packet” How do you construct a wave packet?

What happens when you add up waves? ________________________________ The Superposition principle

Adding up waves of different frequencies

Constructing a wave packet by adding up several waves ………… ___________________________________ If several waves of different wavelengths (frequencies) and phases are superposed together, one would get a resultant which is a localized wave packet

A wave packet describes a particle ____________________________ A wave packet is a group of waves with slightly different wavelengths interfering with one another in a way that the amplitude of the group (envelope) is non-zero only in the neighbourhood of the particle A wave packet is localized – a good representation for a particle!

Wave packet, phase velocity and group velocity ____________________________ The spread of wave packet in wavelength depends on the required degree of localization in space – the central wavelength is given by What is the velocity of the wave packet?

Wave packet, phase velocity and group velocity The velocities of the individual waves which superpose to produce the wave packet representing the particle are different - the wave packet as a whole has a different velocity from the waves that comprise it Phase velocity: The rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space Group velocity: The rate at which the envelope of the wave packet propagates

Phase velocity Phase velocity is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space. This is the velocity at which the phase of any one frequency component of the wave will propagate. You could pick one particular phase of the wave and it would appear to travel at the phase velocity. The phase velocity is given in terms of the wave's angular frequency ω and wave vector k by

Group velocity where: vg is the group velocity; Group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the variations in the shape of the wave's amplitude (known as the modulation or envelope of the wave) propagate through space. The group velocity is defined by the equation where: vg is the group velocity; ω is the wave's angular frequency; k is the wave number. The function ω(k), which gives ω as a function of k, is known as the dispersion relation.

Velocity of De-Broglie Waves-Phase velocity Moving material particle-De broglie said a wave is associated which travel with the same velocity as that of the wave. Let De-broglie wave velocity is W, so Vp or W=

Phase Velocity - continued we know that =h/mv From Planck`s Law E = h From mass energy relation E = mc2 2

Phase Velocity - continued h = mc2  = mc2/h W =   Therefore W= mc2/h X h/mv W = C2/v So Particle velocity must be less than the velocity of light. W > c We can say that De-Broglie waves must travel faster than the velocity of light.

Group Velocity=Particle velocity

Group Velocity=Particle velocity .

The group velocity is the velocity of a pulse of light, that is, of its irradiance. While we derived the group velocity using two frequencies, think of it as occurring at a given frequency, the center frequency of a pulsed wave. It’s the velocity of the pulse. When vg = vf, the pulse propagates at the same velocity as the carrier wave (i.e., as the phase fronts): z This rarely occurs, however.

When the group and phase velocities are different… More generally, vg ≠ vf, and the carrier wave (phase fronts) propagates at the phase velocity, and the pulse (irradiance) propagates at the group velocity (usually slower). The carrier wave: The envelope (irradiance): Now we must multiply together these two quantities.

Relation Between Group Velocity and Phase Velocity

This gives us the relation between Phase velocity and Group velocity

This gives us the relation between Phase velocity and Group velocity
