D 21/3​

Answer 1

Relation between phase difference and path difference of two particles in a progressive wave is

The phase difference is the difference in the phase angle of the two waves. Path difference is the difference in the path traversed by the two waves. The relation between phase difference and path difference is direct. They are directly proportional to each other.
