What is the relation between phase difference \((\Delta \theta)\) and path difference \((\Delta x)\) ?

  1. A \(\Delta \theta=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \Delta x\)
  2. B \(\Delta x =\frac{2 \pi \lambda}{\Delta \theta}\)
  3. C \(\Delta \theta=2 \pi \lambda \Delta x\)
  4. D \(\Delta x =\frac{2 \lambda \Delta \theta}{\pi}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\Delta \theta=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \Delta x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

This formula is based on the fact that a full wavelength \((\lambda)\) corresponds to a complete phase shift of \(2 \pi\) radians. By setting up the ratio \(\frac{\Delta \theta}{2 \pi}=\frac{\Delta x}{\lambda}\) and solving for \(\Delta \theta\), you get this standard wave…
