The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.
Group velocity is the speed at which the envelope of a wave packet propagates, carrying energy and information. Phase velocity is the speed at which the individual wave crests propagate. In some cases, the group velocity can exceed the phase velocity, such as in the case of dispersive media.
Phase velocity refers to the speed at which the phase of a wave propagates through space, while group velocity refers to the speed at which the envelope of the wave (group of wave packets) propagates through space. In many situations, the phase velocity can be different from the group velocity, leading to phenomena like dispersion.
The phase difference between acceleration and velocity of a particle in simple harmonic motion is π/2 radians (or 90 degrees). This means that at any given point in time, the velocity of the particle lags behind its acceleration by a quarter of a cycle.

it is the relative velocity of two phase that is gas and liquid.
Group velocity is the speed at which the envelope of a wave packet propagates, carrying energy and information. Phase velocity is the speed at which the individual wave crests propagate. In some cases, the group velocity can exceed the phase velocity, such as in the case of dispersive media.
Yes, phase velocity can exceed the speed of light in certain mediums. This is known as superluminal phase velocity. However, this does not violate the principle of causality or the speed of light in vacuum as it is the group velocity, rather than the phase velocity, that carries the information in a wave.
Phase velocity refers to the speed at which the phase of a wave propagates through space, while group velocity refers to the speed at which the envelope of the wave (group of wave packets) propagates through space. In many situations, the phase velocity can be different from the group velocity, leading to phenomena like dispersion.
In a stationary wave on a string, the phase velocity represents the speed at which a specific point on the wave oscillates up and down. On the other hand, the group velocity is the speed at which the overall shape or envelope of the wave propagates or moves along the string.
The phase difference between acceleration and velocity of a particle in simple harmonic motion is π/2 radians (or 90 degrees). This means that at any given point in time, the velocity of the particle lags behind its acceleration by a quarter of a cycle.

Interfacial velocity is the speed of a fluid whose movement is generated by its mass transfer from a phase to the next . Another factor that generates interfacial velocity is the bulk motion of the fluid, known as advection.
When a wave enters a waveguide from air, the phase velocity will decrease. This is because waveguides typically have a higher refractive index than air, causing the wave to slow down as it enters the waveguide.
Group velocity is the velocity of the energy or information carried by a wave packet in a medium. It represents how fast the shape of the wave packet moves through the medium while maintaining its integrity. It can be different from the phase velocity of the individual waves that make up the packet.
