Frequency dispersion in groups of gravity waves on the surface of deep water. The ■ red square moves with the phase velocity, and the ● green circles propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red square overtakes two green circles when moving from the left to the right of the figure.
New waves seem to emerge at the back of a wave group, grow in amplitude until they are at the center of the group, and vanish at the wave group front.
