The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the phase difference between two points 2.75 cm apart on a stretched string with a wave speed of 100 cm/s and a frequency of 100 Hz, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Speed of the wave, \( v = 100 \, \text{cm/s} \) - Frequency of the wave, \( f = 100 \, \text{Hz} \) - Distance between two points, \( \Delta x = 2.75 \, \text{cm} \) 2. **Calculate the Wavelength (\( \lambda \)):** - Use the formula for wave speed: \[ v = f \cdot \lambda \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \lambda = \frac{100 \, \text{cm/s}}{100 \, \text{Hz}} = 1 \, \text{cm} \] 3. **Calculate the Phase Difference (\( \Delta \phi \)):** - The formula for phase difference is: \[ \Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \cdot \Delta x \] - Substituting the values we have: \[ \Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{1 \, \text{cm}} \cdot 2.75 \, \text{cm} \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ \Delta \phi = 2\pi \cdot 2.75 = 5.5\pi \] 4. **Convert to Fractional Form:** - We can express \( 5.5\pi \) as: \[ 5.5\pi = \frac{11}{2}\pi \] 5. **Final Answer:** - The phase difference between the two points is: \[ \Delta \phi = \frac{11\pi}{2} \, \text{radians} \] ### Summary: The phase difference between the two points 2.75 cm apart on the string is \( \frac{11\pi}{2} \) radians.
