Two simple harmonic waves are represented by equations y1
= a sin (ωt –
kx) and y2
= a sin [(ωt – kx) + φ]. What is the phase difference between these
two waves?

Answer ⇒ The phase difference between the two waves is φ.

Explanation ⇒ Given two waves have equations,

y₁ = a sin (ωt –  kx)

Comparing this equation with the standard equation of waves,

y = ASin(ωt ± kx + φ)

we will get, Phase angle (Φ₁) = 0

y₂ = a sin [(ωt – kx) + φ]

Phase angle (Φ₂) = φ

Phase difference = φ₂ - φ₁

= φ - 0

= φ

Hence, the phase difference between the two waves is φ.

Hope it helps.
