Waves - Result Question 2

2. Two waves are represented by the equations y1=asin(ωt+kx+0.57)m and y2=acos(ωt +kx)m, where x is in meter and t in sec. The phase difference between them is [2011]

(a) 1.0 radian

(b) 1.25 radian

(c) 1.57 radian

(d) 0.57 radian

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Here, y1=asin(ωt+kx+0.57)

so, ϕ1=0.57

and y2=acos(ωt+kx)

=asin[π2+(ωt+kx)]

so, ϕ2=π/2

Phase difference, Δϕ=ϕ2ϕ1

=π20.57=3.1420.57=1.570.57=1 radian
