The two waves represented by `y_1=a sin (omegat)` and `y_2=b cos (omegat)` have a phase difference of

A

(a) `0`

B

(b) `pi/2`

C

(c) `pi`

D

(d) `pi/4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`y_1=a sin omegat` and `y_2=b cos omega t=bsin (omegat+pi/2)`
So phase difference `varphi=pi//2`
