Group Velocity / Phase Velocity Animation - Case 2: Zero Group Velocity


In this second video of the series, we demonstrate the case where the group velocity is zero while the phase velocity is positive number. The individual wave components comprising the total wave are first shown at the top along with a corresponding "dot" representing the phase velocity of each component.

In the bottom figure, we have the resulting wave that travels along the +x direction with a positive phase velocity but the group velocity remains to be zero. The wave packet envelope is shown in magenta color in dashed lines.
