Group velocity is the velocity of the quantum particle while Phase velocity is the velocity of the wavefunction. They are not equal. 𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬ELEVATE𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬 *Elevate Classes* - Find LIVE Batches & Recorded Courses for Physics IITJAM, CSIR-NET, GATE, TIFR, JEST etc on our platform Websiteβ–Ί https://www.elevateclasses.in/ Android Appβ–Ί https://bit.ly/3zU71ur iOS Appβ–Ί https://apple.co/3ZPRWVJ (use ORG code - AHGXS) 𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬MY NOTES - GDRIVE𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬 Find the PDF Scanned copy of my NOTES for this lecture here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nNs7HychbXXv34CKlUOyL4Z0EgC0ZXxP/view?usp=drive_link 𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬VIDEO DETAILS𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬 In quantum mechanics, group velocity refers to the speed at which the peak or envelope of a wavepacket propagates through space. Phase velocity, on the other hand, refers to the speed at which the phase of the wave oscillation moves. In some cases, phase velocity can exceed the speed of light, but it doesn't carry actual energy or information. Group velocity is associated with the movement of the wave packet itself, while phase velocity is related to the oscillatory behavior of the wave within the packet. In quantum mechanics, the evolution of this wave packet is an approximation of the trajectory of the classical particle. 00:00 Introduction to Wave packet 06:15 Dispersive & Non-dispersive Medium 09:45 Group & Phase velocities 26:20 Group Velocity of Particle 37:17 Phase Velocity of Particle 𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬TELEGRAM𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬 Join my Telegram Channel β–Ί https://t.me/FortheLoveofPhysicsYT 𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬SUPPORT𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬𓏬 Your Financial support provides me an additional incentive to create high quality lecture videos.
