    Two points are located at a distance of 10 m and 15 m from the source of oscillation. The period of oscillation is 0.05 s and the velocity of the wave is 300 m/s. What is the phase difference between the oscillations of two points? [AIPMPT (S) 2008]

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]                       

    B)       \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]

    C)  \[\pi \]              

    D)       \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Phase difference \[=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\times \] path difference
    Path difference between two points,
    \[\Delta x=15-10=5m\]
    Time period, \[T=0.05\text{ }s\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] frequency \[v=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.05}=20Hz\]
    Velocity, \[v=300\text{ }m/s\]
    \[\therefore \] Wavelength,  \[\lambda =\frac{v}{v}=\frac{300}{20}=15m\]
    Hence, phase difference \[\Delta \phi =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\times \Delta x\]
    \[=\frac{2\pi }{15}\times 5=\frac{2\pi }{3}\]
