A) \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]
B) \[\frac{4\pi }{3}\]
C) \[\frac{3\pi }{3}\]
D) \[\frac{5\pi }{6}\]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Idea we can compare the phase of two waves only when they both are represented by 'sin' or 'cosine' functions. \[{{y}_{1}}=2a\sin \left( \omega t+\frac{\pi }{6} \right)=-2a\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{2}+\omega t+\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\phi }_{1}}=\frac{\pi }{2}+\omega t+\frac{\pi }{6}\] and\[{{y}_{2}}=-2a\cos \left( \omega t-\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\phi }_{2}}=\omega t-\frac{\pi }{6}\] \[\therefore \]Phase difference \[={{\phi }_{1}}-{{\phi }_{2}}=\frac{\pi }{2}+\omega t+\frac{\pi }{6}-\left( \omega t-\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\] \[=\frac{\pi }{2}+\frac{\pi }{3}=\frac{5\pi }{6}\] TEST Edge For example the phase of a wave can be represented by\[\left( \omega t+\frac{\pi }{3} \right)\]. Here\[\frac{\pi }{3}\]is 'phase constant. The value of phase at t = 0 is known as phase constant.
