Two sound waves having a phase difference of `60^(@)` have path difference of

A

`lambda/6`

B

`lambda/3`

C

`2 lambda`

D

`lambda/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Phase difference `theta = 60^@ = pi/3 rad`
Phase difference `(theta) = pi/3 = (2pi)/(lambda) xx "Path difference"`
Therefore path difference = `pi/2 xx lambda/(2 pi) = lambda/6`.
