(N/A) The general equation of a traveling wave is given by $y(x, t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t + \phi)$.
Here,$k$ is the angular wave number and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.
The phase of the wave is given by $\Phi = kx - \omega t$.
For a constant phase (the position of a specific point on the wave),we have $kx - \omega t = \text{constant}$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to time $t$,we get $k \frac{dx}{dt} - \omega = 0$.
Since the wave velocity $v$ is defined as $v = \frac{dx}{dt}$,we substitute this into the equation:
$kv - \omega = 0$.
Therefore,the relation is $v = \frac{\omega}{k}$.
