Phase Velocity

v_{p} = \frac{ω}{k}

Velocity at which the phase of a wave propagates through space.

Variables

v_p

Phase velocity

Speed of phase propagation

m/s

Angular frequency

Radians per second

rad/s

Wave number

Radians per meter

rad/m

From wave equation y = A sin(kx - ωt), phase velocity v_p = ω/k = fλ.
