(c) Time interval between two consecutive beats
$T = \frac{1}{{{n_1} - {n_2}}} = \frac{1}{{260 - 256}} = \frac{1}{4}\sec $ so, $t = \frac{1}{{16}} = \frac{T}{4}\,\,\sec $
By using time difference =$\frac{T}{{2\pi }} \times $Phase difference
$ \Rightarrow $$\frac{T}{4} = \frac{T}{{2\pi }} \times \phi \Rightarrow \phi = \frac{\pi }{2}$
