    The phase difference between two points separated by 1 m in a wave of frequency 120 Hz is 90°. The wave velocity will be:

    A)  720 m/s              

    B)         480 m/s              

    C)         240 m/s              

    D)         180 m/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Here: path difference \[\Delta x=1\,m\] Phase difference \[={{90}^{o}}=0.5\pi \] Frequency \[n=120\,Hz\] \[\therefore \]  Phase difference\[\text{o }\!\!|\!\!\text{ =}\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\times \Delta x\] or            \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi \times \Delta x}{\text{o }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}=\frac{2\pi \times 1}{0.5\pi }=4m\] Hence, wave velocity \[\upsilon =n\lambda =120\times 4=480\,m/s\]
