    The phase difference between two points separated by\[0.8m\], in a wave of frequency\[120Hz\], is\[\frac{\pi }{2}\]. The velocity of wave is

    A) \[720m{{s}^{-1}}\]                          

    B) \[384m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[250m{{s}^{-1}}\]                          

    D) \[1m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    It is given that\[v=120Hz\], phase difference \[\Delta \phi =\frac{\pi }{2}\]and path difference\[\Delta x=0.8\,\,m\]. As           \[\Delta \phi =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\cdot \Delta x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi }{\Delta \phi }\cdot \Delta x=\frac{2\pi \times 0.8}{\frac{\pi }{2}}=3.2\,\,m\] Hence, wave velocity \[v=v\lambda =120\times 3.2=384m{{s}^{-1}}\]
