Question
What is the smallest positive phase constant which is equivalent to $7.5\pi?$

Answer

Equation of the wave:

$\text{y}=\text{A}\sin (\text{kx}-\omega\text{t}+\phi)$

Here, A is the amplitude, k is the wave nunumber, $\omega$ is the angular frequency and $\phi$ is the initial phase.

The argument of the sine is a phase, so the smallest positive phase constant should be.

$\sin(7.5\pi)=\sin (3\times2\pi+1.5\pi)$

$=\sin (1.5\pi)$

Therefore, the smallest positive phase constant is $1.5 \pi.$

What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning? (Hint: The earth has an electric field of about 100Vm–1 at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density = –10–9 Cm–2. Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere up to about 50km (beyond which it is good conductor), about + 1800C is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does not get discharged since thunderstorms and lightning occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge on the earth.)
