For a travelling harmonic wave y (x, t) = 2.0 2 π (10 t - 0.0080 x + 0.35) here 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:

Solution & Explanation

Related Formula
Δ φ = k Δ x k = 2π × 0.0080 rad/cm
Core Logic

Δ x = 0.5 m = 50 cm.

Δ φ = 2π × 8 × 10⁻³ × 50 = 800 π × 10⁻³ = 0.8π rad
Pattern Recognition

Phase difference is wave number times path length difference.
