| May 18, 2019 at 1:44 | comment | added | Pancake_Senpai | The accepted answer basically says that the phase velocity represents nothing physical. I'm not sure I accept that, because for a single wave the phase velocity is the wave velocity, and this is clearly something physical because it is the velocity of the photons of light (assuming the wave is EM). | |

| May 17, 2019 at 21:23 | comment | added | David Hammen | I'm not going to vote to close yet, but the question In superluminal phase velocities, what is it that is traveling faster than light is highly related, if not a duplicate. The accepted answer to that question is an answer to this question. | |
