    Two waves are given by \[{{y}_{1}}=\cos \,(4t-2x)\] and\[{{y}_{2}}=\sin \left( 4t-2x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]. The phase difference between the two waves is

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]                                             

    B)  \[-\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3\pi }{4}\]                                           

    D)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    E)  \[\frac{3\pi }{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Equations of waves \[{{y}_{1}}=\cos \,(4t-2x)\]      \[=\sin \,\left( 4t-2x+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\] and        \[{{y}_{2}}=\sin \,\left( 4t-2x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\] Therefore, phase difference between the two waves is \[\Delta \phi =\left( 4t-2x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)-\left( 4t-2x+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]       \[=\frac{\pi }{4}-\frac{\pi }{2}\]       \[=-\frac{\pi }{4}\]
