Dispersion Mechanism
Dispersion Mechanism : A continual spreading out of a disturbance into trains of waves, given that the initial disturbance is confined to a finite range of x values, and that the medium is unlimited. An effect in which a wave disturbance in the sea separates into wave trains of different wavelengths travelling at different speed. This principle is applied, analogously, to wave propagation in a fluid, wherein the speed of a wave disturbance depends upon its wavelength
