dispersion relationship
A dispersion relationship refers to the functional relationship between the frequency or wavelength of a wave and its corresponding wave vector in a given medium or system. It provides insights into how waves propagate and interact in different mediums, thereby helping to understand the behavior and properties of waves in various physical systems.
