Define phase velocity and group velocity?

Phase velocity

Phase velocity is the velocity with which a plane progressive wave front travels forward. Phase velocity is symbolized by . It has a constant phase = 

Group velocity

The group velocity () is the speed with which the point of reinforcement of the resultant wave travels. The group velocity is different from the individual wave velocity.
