Question:

The phase velocity vp of transverse waves on a one-dimensional crystal of atomic separation d is related to the wavevector k as
\(v_p=C\frac{\sin(kd/2)}{(kd/2)}\)
The group velocity of these waves is

Updated On: Oct 1, 2024
  • \(C[\cos(kd/2)-\frac{\sin(kd/2)}{(kd/2)}]\)
  • \(C\cos(kd/2)\)
  • \(C[\cos(kd/2)+\frac{\sin(kd/2)}{(kd/2)}]\)
  • \(C\frac{\sin(kd/2)}{(kd/2)}\)
