... Whether a wave (more accvurately, its
propagation) is dispersive or not is determined by the properties of
the medium and, if we also take into account the non-linear terms, by
the wave amplitude, but not by geometry.
For each frequency, a spherical wave can be represented as a linear
superposition (3-D Fourier transform) of plane waves with the same
frequency.
