Hello.
What is actually a wave packet?
I am looking at the derivation of the nonlinear schrodinger equation in hydrodynamics, which seemingly says that the envelop of a wave packet obeys the NLS.
But, in the first place, why would a wave packet be produced?
Is the wave-number a constant within a wave packet? I mean, does a wave packet has a only One wave number? Actually how many waves are these in a wave packet?
