dispersion relation [də′spər·zhən ri‚lā·shən]

(nuclear physics)

A relation between the cross section for a given effect and the de Broglie wavelength of the incident particle, which is similar to a classical dispersion formula.

(physics)

An integral formula relating the real and imaginary parts of some function of frequency or energy, such as a refractive index or scattering amplitude, based on the causality principle and the Cauchy integral formula.

(plasma physics)

A relation between the radian frequency and the wave vector of a wave motion or instability in a plasma.
