AIPMT MAIN 2008 Physics Wave Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

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 sec and the velocity of the wave is 300 m/sec. What is the phase difference between the oscillations of two points?

A

π/6

B

π/3

C

2π/3

D

π

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The phase difference Δϕ is given by Δϕ = 2πΔx/λ, where Δx is the distance difference and λ is the wavelength. With Δx = 5 m and λ = 15 m, Δϕ = 2π/3.
