A progressive wave has a wavelength of 50cm. calculate the phase difference between two points at a distance of 20cm apart.

  • A.
    10/3π
  • B.
    5/2 π
  • C.
    4/5 π
  • D.
    2/3 π
  • E.
    π/3
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Phase difference = (frac{2pi x}{lambda})

= (frac{2pi times 20}{50})

= (frac{4}{5} pi)
