NEET Physics Wave Motion Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Wavelength (i) Distance between two consecutive crests (b) Angular frequency (ii) Phase difference of the wave (c) Amplitude (iii) Maximum displacement from the rest position (d) Phase angle (iv) Rate of change of angular displacement
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-iv, c-iii, d-ii
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs, which corresponds to option (i). Angular frequency relates to how quickly the wave oscillates, making option (iv) the correct match for it. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement from the rest position, matching with option (iii), while phase angle represents the phase difference in the wave, corresponding to option (ii).
