If V is the velocity of the wave and `omega` is the angular velocity then the propagation constant (K) of the wave is given by

A

`K = (V)/(omega)`

B

`K = (omega)/(V)`

C

`K = 2pi n`

D

`K = (lamda)/(2pi)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`K = (2pi)/(lamda) = (2pi n)/(n lamda) = (omega)/(v)`
