Wa-2 Phase and Group Velocity
Aim
To demonstrate the difference between phase and group velocity.
Apparatus
- 4 channel C.R.O
- 2 Signal generators
- Leads
Phase and Group Velocity Apparatus
Description
Two signal generators are connected to separate channel inputs on the four channel C.R.O. The third channel contains the sum of the two signals via the isolating resistors. If the two frequencies of the oscillators are approximately equal the resulting waveforms adequately demonstrate the phase and group velocity of the packet.
