Dispersion Diagram Physics. The simplest way to explain dispersion is through dispersion in the prism. Dispersion as a general phenomenon can occur for any type of wave and always involves wavelength dependent.

Unlike the prism depicted above however internal reflection is an integral part of the rainbow effect and in fact prisms can also feature internal. Dispersion relation band diagram frequency ω versus wavenumber k of a uniform one dimensional medium where the dashed lines.
A dispersion diagram is a plot of propagation constant versus frequency.
Unlike the prism depicted above however internal reflection is an integral part of the rainbow effect and in fact prisms can also feature internal. Since a parallel plate waveguide allows for waves to travel in two dimensions its propagation constant can be written as a vector quantity β x k x y k y. Dispersion is defined as the spreading of white light into its full spectrum of wavelengths. Dispersion relation band diagram frequency ω versus wavenumber k of a uniform one dimensional medium where the dashed lines.
