if `x = a sin (omegat + pi//6)` and `x' = a cos omega`, t, then what is the phase difference between the two waves

A

`pi/3`

B

`pi/6`

C

`pi/2`

D

`pi`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
`x=asin(omega+(pi)/(6))`
`x'=a cosomegat=a sin(omegat+(pi)/(2))`
Therefore, phase difference `=(pi//2)-pi//6`
`=(pi//3)`
