Question
Two medium particles are separated by a distances $\frac{\lambda}{2}.$ What is the relationship between phase of these particles at any instant?

Answer

The phase difference between two given particles $=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times\frac{\lambda}{2}=\pi$ radian i.e., the two particles are in mutually opposite phase conditions.
