of: wave groups composed of superpositions of waves with a variety of frequencies
in: dispersive media (i.e. when waves of different frequencies propagate at different speeds)
is: the speed at which the envelope of the wave group propagates. [P5.6]
generally will differ: from the phase speed of any of the individual waves which contribute to the formation of the wave group. [P5.6]
