Phase speed from angular frequency and wavenumber ================================================= *Phase speed* of a wave is the rate at which the wave propagates in a medium. It is the speed at which the phase of one frequency component of the wave travels. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.waves.phase_velocity_from_angular_frequency_and_wavenumber .. py:data:: phase_speed :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.phase_speed` of the wave.
