The phase difference between two particles in a medium separated by a distance x is ` pi //6` .If the frequency of the oscillation is 50 Hz and the velocity of propagation of the wave is 100 m/s then x =

A

1/3 m

B

1/4 m

C

1/6 m

D

1/12m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`d = (2pi x)/(lamda)`
`x = (delta lamda)/(2pi) = ((pi)/(6) xx (v)/(n))/(2pi) = (1)/(12) xx (100)/(50) = (1)/(6) m`
