If the phase difference between two points is 120° for a wave with velocity of 360 m/ and frequency 500 Hz, then path difference between the two points is
-
- 1 cm
- 6 cm
- 12 cm
- 24 cm
- 1 cm
Correct Option: D
If v is the wave velocity and f is the frequency, wavelength (?) is given by:
λ = | ||
f |
So as per the question,
λ = 360/500 = 0.72
The path difference between two points is given by
×φ = | × 120° = 0.24 m = 24 m | |||
2π | 360° |
