A travelling acoustic wave of frequency 500 Hz is moving along the positive x-direction with a velocity of 300 ms^(-1).The phase difference between two points x_(1)and x_2 is 60°. Then the minimum separation between the two points is

Answer»

1 mm
1 cm
10 cm
1 m

Solution :The relation between phase DIFFERENCE and path differenceis GIVEN by.
`Deltaphi = (2pi)/lambda. Deltax` , Here, `Deltaphi = 60^(@) = pi/3`,
`V= 300 ms^(-1), v= 500 Hz`
`therefore pi/3 = (2pi)/(300//500) xx Deltax (therefore v = v lambda)`
`rArr Deltax = 3/(2 xx 5 xx 3) = 1/10 m = 10 cm`
