A) 1.07 rad
B) 2.07 rad
C) 0.5 rad
D) 1.5 rad
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The given waves are \[{{y}_{1}}={{10}^{-6}}\sin [100t+(x/50)+0.5]m\] and \[{{y}_{2}}={{10}^{-6}}\cos [100t+(x/50)]\,\,m\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{y}_{2}}={{10}^{-6}}\sin \,[100t+(x/50)+\frac{\pi }{2}]\,\,m\] \[\left[ \because \sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}+\theta \right)=\cos \theta \right]\] Hence, the phase difference between the waves is \[\Delta \phi =\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-0.5 \right)rad\] \[=\left( \frac{3.14}{2}-0.5 \right)\,\,rad\] \[=(1.57-0.5)\,\,rad\] \[=(1.07)\,\,rad\] NOTE: The given waves are sine and cosine function, so they are plane progressive harmonic waves.
