    A wave of frequency \[500\,\,Hz\] has a velocity of\[360\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]. Calculate the distance between two points that are \[{{60}^{o}}\] out of phase.

    A) \[12\,\,cm\]         

    B)        \[18\,\,cm\]

    C) \[24\,\,cm\]       

    D)        \[32\,\,cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The distance between the two consecutive compressions or rarefactions (wavelength) is out of phase by\[{{360}^{o}}\]. The distance between two points which is \[{{60}^{o}}\]out of phase \[=\frac{1}{6}\times wavelength=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{velocity}{frequency}\]             \[=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{360}{500}=0.12\,\,m=12\,\,cm\]
