Dispersion Unveiled: The Wave Equation Behind Light, Sound, and Matter


Listen Later

We explore the dispersion relation—the link between a wave's frequency and wavenumber—and how it governs wave speeds across media, from prisms to solids. Along the way we trace history, quantum twists, and powerful applications like electron microscopy, with a glance toward future possibilities.
