Abstract

A method to show the temporal evolution of wavefunctions in linear lossless media is developed by using the inverse fast Fourier transform. Sequential images of the wave patterns are obtained by assuming simple phase functions for different dispersion relations, and for any given kind of spectra. The evolution of a wave packet shows the different group and phase velocities, and the deformation and spreading of the envelope in several dispersive media.
