The phase difference between two waves meeting at a point is `3 pi/2`. What is the corresponding path difference ?

A

`(lambda)/(6)`

B

`(lambda)/(2)`

C

`2lambda`

D

`(lambda)/(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Deltaphi=(2pi)/(lamba)xxDeltax`
`implies (pi)/(3)=(2pi)/(lambda)xxDeltax`
`implies Deltax`= path difference = `(lambda)/(6)`.
