    In the adjoining figure A, B, and C represents three progressive waves. Which of the following statement about the waves is correct?

    A)  Wave C lags behind in phase by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]from A and B leads by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    B)  Wave C leads in phase by \[\pi \]from A and B lags behind by \[\pi \]

    C)  Wave C leads in phase by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]from A and lags behind by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    D)  Wave C lags behind in phase by \[\pi \]from A and \[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to the given figure, A attains mean position T/4 time earlier than C. So, C lags behind A by \[\frac{\pi }{2}.\]Also B attains the mean position \[\frac{T}{2}\] time earlier. Hence, B leads A by \[\frac{\pi }{2}.\]
