Question 8 The phase velocity of ripples on a liquid surface is ( sqrt{frac{2 pi S}{lambda ho}} ), where ( S ) is the surface tension and ( ho ) is the density of the liquid. (a) Find the phase velocity as a function of ( k ). Hence, find the expression for ( omega ). (b) Find the group velocity as a function of ( k ). (c) Find the relation between group and phase velocities.

The phase velocity of ripples on a liquid surface is given as Vphase = sqrt(2*pi*S / (lambda*rho)), where S is the surface tension of the liquid, lambda is the wavelength, and rho is the density of the liquid. (a) Find the group velocity (Vgroup) of the ripples. (b) Obtain the relation between Vgroup and Vphase.
