    The rope shown at an instant is carrying a wave travelling towards right, created by a source vibrating at a frequency\[n\]. Consider the following statements I.         The speed of the wave is \[4n\times ab\] II.        The medium at \[a\] will be in the same phase as \[d\]after \[\frac{4}{3n}s\] III.       The phase difference between \[b\] and \[e\] is \[\frac{3\pi }{2}\] Which of these statements are correct                [AMU 2001]

    A)            I, II and III                              

    B)            II only                                      

    C)            I and III                                   

    D)            III only

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Speed = \[n\lambda \]= \[n(4ab)=4n\times ab\]    \[\left( \text{As}\,ab=\frac{\lambda }{4} \right)\]                        Path difference between \[b\] and \[e\] is \[\frac{3\lambda }{4}\]                    So the phase difference =\[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\]. Path difference                                                  = \[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }.\frac{3\lambda }{4}=\frac{3\pi }{2}\]
