The phase velocity of transverse waves in a crystal of atomic separation a is given byy = csin(ka/2) pka/2 1. What is the dispersion relation e(k)? 2. What is the group velocity as a function of k?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a

e(k) =  \frac{2a}{c}  *  sin (\frac{k*a}{2} )

b

G_{v} =  \frac{d e(k ) }{dk }  =  \frac{a^2}{c}  *  cos (\frac{k* a}{2} )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  velocity  of transverse waves in a crystal of atomic separation is  

                  [tex]b_y  = c \frac{sin (\frac{k*a}{2} )}{\frac{k*a}{2} }[/tex]

Generally the dispersion relation is mathematically represented as

            [tex]e(k) =  b_y  *  k[/tex]

=>    [tex]e(k) = c  \frac{sin(\frac{k*a}{2} ) }{ \frac{k*a}{2} }  *  k[/tex]

=>    [tex]e(k) =   c *  \frac{sin (\frac{k_a}{2} )}{ \frac{a}{2} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]e(k) =  \frac{2a}{c}  *  sin (\frac{k*a}{2} )[/tex]

Generally the group velocity is mathematically represented as

          [tex]G_{v} =  \frac{d e(k ) }{dk }  =  \frac{a^2}{c}  *  cos (\frac{k* a}{2} ) [/tex]
