FAQ

What is the Phase Velocity?
Phase velocity in optics refers to the velocity at which the phase of an electromagnetic wave propagates through a medium. Phase Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Phase Velocity is always positive.
Can the Phase Velocity be negative?
No, the Phase Velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Phase Velocity?
Phase Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Phase Velocity can be measured.
