Question:
A sinusoidal wave of frequency 425 Hz has a speed of 250 m/s.
(a) How far apart are two points that differ in phase by {eq}\pi {/eq}/3 rad?
(b) What is the phase difference between two displacements at a certain point at times 1.00 ms apart?
Sinusoidal Wave:
For sinusoidal waves, the time for one full cycle is called the period. The multiplication of frequency and wavelength gives the speed of a wave. Generally, the phase difference is measured in the radian.
