Topic: Electromagnetics

A non dispersive media has

  • A. Group velocity > phase velocity
  • B. Group velocity < phase velocity
  • C. Group velocity = phase velocity
  • D. None of above

Answer: C. Group velocity = phase velocity

Explanation: In non-dispersive media, the speed of wave is independent of frequency. Here the carrier wave propagates at the phase speed, the modulation envelope propagates at the group speed. Thus, the non-dispersive media, both the phase velocity and group velocity are same.
