Frequency Equation
</dt>
An equation relating phase speed
to wavelength
and to the physical parameters of the system in a linear oscillation. Also
called dispersion equation.
</dd>
''Mathematically, the frequency equation is the result of substituting a
simple harmonic solution in the homogeneous differential equations of motion
and the homogeneous boundary conditions. The frequency equation thus describes
the free
waves of the system. See group
velocity. [[/a>|/a>]]
