Question : If the phase difference between two points is 1200 for a wave with a velocity of 360 m/s and a frequency of 500 Hz, then the path difference between the two points is:

Option 1: 1 cm

Option 2: 6 cm

Option 3: 12 cm

Correct Answer: 24 cm


Solution : The correct option is 24cm .

Wavelength (λ ) can be calculated by dividing the velocity (v) of the wave by the wave frequency (f)

λ = v/f

λ = 360/500 = 0.72

φ= path difference

The path difference between the two points is given by

λ/2π × φ = 0.72/360 × 120

= 0.24 m

= 24 cm
