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 Wave Number (ii) 2π/λ (c) Phase Difference (iii) Describes the shift between two waves (d) Speed of Wave (iv) Distance/time for wave propagation
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii
a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs, which aligns with option (i). The angular wave number is given by 2π/λ, matching option (ii). Phase difference describes the shift between two waves, corresponding to option (iii), and the speed of wave is the distance traveled over time, which matches option (iv).
