Wave vector, symbol k, is a property of wave which shows the direction and magnitude of wave number or else angular wave number.
It is considered as phase lag per unit distance.
It is significant in both the fields of physics and chemistry.
We see that wave number has vast use in communication studies and also in quantum mechanics. Whereas in chemistry it plays important role for studying spectroscopy.
