The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given wave equations and determine the validity of the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wave Equations**: The two wave equations given are: - \( y_1 = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \) - \( y_2 = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \) 2. **Rewrite the Second Equation**: We can rewrite the second equation to match the form of the first: - \( y_2 = A \sin(-(\omega t - kx)) \) Using the property of sine, \( \sin(-x) = -\sin(x) \): - \( y_2 = -A \sin(\omega t - kx) \) 3. **Determine the Phase Difference**: The phase of \( y_1 \) is \( \omega t - kx \) and the phase of \( y_2 \) is \( -(\omega t - kx) \). The phase difference \( \Delta \phi \) can be calculated as: - \( \Delta \phi = \phi_2 - \phi_1 = -(\omega t - kx) - (\omega t - kx) = -2(\omega t - kx) \) At \( t = 0 \) and \( x = 0 \), the phase difference becomes: - \( \Delta \phi = -2(0) = 0 \) However, since \( y_2 = -A \sin(\omega t - kx) \), we can say that the two waves are indeed out of phase by \( \pi \) (since one is the negative of the other). 4. **Direction of Propagation**: - The wave \( y_1 = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \) travels in the positive x-direction. - The wave \( y_2 = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \) can be rewritten as \( y_2 = A \sin(-(\omega t - kx)) \), which indicates it travels in the negative x-direction. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is **true**: The two waves have a phase difference of \( \pi \). - The reason is **true**: They are indeed traveling in opposite directions. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: True

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given wave equations and determine the validity of the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wave Equations**: The two wave equations given are: - \( y_1 = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \) - \( y_2 = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \) ...
