Two waves are represented by the equations y1 = a sin (ωt + kx + 0.57) m and y2 = a sin(ωt

Question

Two waves are represented by the equations y1 = a sin (&#969;t + kx + 0.57) m and y2 = a sin(&#969;t + kx)m, where x is in meters and t in sec. The phase difference between them is

Accepted Answer

y1 = a sin(&#969;t + kx + 0.57)m&#8756; Phase,&#966;1 = &#969;t + k x + 0.57 y2 = a sin (&#969;t + kx) = a sin &#8756; Phase, &#966;2 = &#969;t + kx + Phase difference, &#5123;&#966; = &#966;2 - &#966;1 - (&#969;t + kx +0.57) = - 0.57 = (1.57 - 0.57) radian = 1 radian
