Question

what is the phase difference between two succesive crust in wave​

Answer 1

Answer:

Phase difference between any two particles in a wave determines lack of harmony in the vibrating state of two particles, ie, how far one particle leads the other or lags behind the other.

Relation of path difference and phase difference is given by

Δϕ=

λ

2π

×Δx

where Δx is path difference.

But path difference between two crests

Δx=λ

Hence, Δϕ=

λ

2π

×λ=2π
