    Two waves are represented by the equations \[{{y}_{1}}=a\sin \omega t\] and \[{{y}_{2}}=a\cos \omega t.\] The first wave                                                              [MP PMT 2001]

    A)            Leads the second by p

    B)            Lags the second by p

    C)            Leads the second by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    D)            Lags the second by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[{{y}_{1}}=a\sin \omega \,t,\ {{y}_{2}}=a\cos \omega \,t=a\sin \left( \omega \,t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]
