Imagine a sound wave with a frequency of 1 kHz propagating with a speed of 1500 m/s in water. Determine the phase difference in radians between any two points on the wave separated by 5 cm.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Phase difference will be equal to [tex]\frac{\pi }{15}radian[/tex]

Explanation:

We have given frequency f = 1 kHz

Velocity of sound wave v = 1500 m/sec

It is given that wave are separated by 5 cm

So d = 0.05 m

We know that velocity is equal to [tex]v=\lambda f[/tex], here [tex]\lambda[/tex] is wavelength and f is frequency

So [tex]\lambda =\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{1000}=1.5m[/tex]

[tex]\beta[/tex]  is equal to [tex]\beta =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }=\frac{2\times 3.14}{1.5}=\frac{4\pi }{3}rad/m[/tex]

Phase difference is equal to [tex]\Phi =\beta d=\frac{4\pi }{3}\times 0.05=\frac{\pi }{15}radian[/tex]
