The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "In a stationary wave, the phase difference between two particles can't be π/3" is true or false, we will analyze the properties of stationary waves. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stationary Waves**: - Stationary waves are formed by the superposition of two waves traveling in opposite directions with the same frequency and amplitude. 2. **Characteristics of Stationary Waves**: - In a stationary wave, there are points called nodes (where the amplitude is always zero) and antinodes (where the amplitude is maximum). - The phase difference between particles in a stationary wave is determined by their positions relative to the nodes and antinodes. 3. **Phase Difference in Stationary Waves**: - The phase difference between two particles in a stationary wave can only be certain specific values. - For any two particles located at different positions along the wave, the possible phase differences are typically 0 (in phase) or π (out of phase). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the phase difference between two particles in a stationary wave can only be 0 or π, a phase difference of π/3 is not possible. - Therefore, the statement "In stationary wave, phase difference between two particles can't be π/3" is **true**. ### Final Answer: The statement is **true**. ---
