Question
Dispersion relaxation for a wave is given at , where is a constant. The group velocity of the wave vanishes at
Solution
The group velocity of a wave is given by the derivative of the dispersion relation with respect to the wave number k. In this case, the dispersion relation is ω(k) = C|sin(ka)|.
To find the group velocity, we need to take the derivative of ω with respect to k:
v_g = dω/dk = C * cos(ka) * a
The group velocity of the wave vanishes (i.e., becomes zero) when cos(ka) = 0. This occurs when ka = (2n+1)π/2, where n is an integer. Therefore, the group velocity of the wave vanishes at k = (2n+1)π/(2a), for n = 0, ±1, ±2, ....
