NEET 2026 Physics Wave Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

For a travelling harmonic wave y(x, t) = 2.0 cos 2π(10t − 0.0080x + 0.35), where x and y are in cm and t in s. The phase difference between oscillatory motion of two points separated by a distance of 0.5 m is:

A

0.08 π rad

B

0.8 π rad

C

8 π rad

D

0.008 π rad

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The phase difference Δϕ = kΔx = 2π × 8 × 10⁻³ × 100/2 = 8π × 10⁻¹ = 0.8π.
