A progressive wave is, `y= 12 sin (5t - 4x)`. On this wave how far away are the two points having a phase difference of `45^@)` ?

A

`pi//4`

B

`pi//8`

C

`pi//16`

D

`pi//32`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`delta = (2pix)/(lamda)` here k = 4
`:. (2pi)/(lamda) = 4 " " :. lamda = (pi)/(4)`
`:. x = (delta lamda)/(2pi) = ((pi)/(4) xx (pi)/(2))/(2pi) = (pi)/(16)`
