A progressive wave is represented by `y = 12 sin (5t - 4x)` cm. On this wave, how far away are the two points having phase difference of `90^circ` ?

A

`pi//4`

B

`pi//8`

C

`pi//16`

D

`pi//32`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`y = 12 sin (5t - 4x)`
`delta = (pi)/(2)`
`delta = (2pi x)/(lamda)`
`:. x = (delta)/((2pi)/(lamda)) = ((pi)/(2))/(4) = (pi)/(8)`
