MCQ
What is the phase difference between two successive crests in the wave
  • A
    $\pi$
  • B
    $\pi /2$
  • $2 \pi$
  • D
    $4 \pi$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2 \pi$
c
(c) Since distance between two consecutive crests is $\lambda$, so

$\phi = \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda } \times \lambda = 2\pi .$
