A progressive wave of frequency \(50 \mathrm{~Hz}\) is travelling with velocity \(350 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) through a medium. The change in phase at a given time interval of 0.01 second is

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{4} \mathrm{rad}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3 \pi}{2} \mathrm{rad}\)
  3. C \(\pi \mathrm{rad}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{2} \mathrm{rad}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\pi \mathrm{rad}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\text { Phase Difference }}{2 \pi}=\frac{\text { Time Difference }}{\mathrm{T}} \\
& \Rightarrow \Delta \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}} \times \Delta \mathrm{t}=\frac{2 \pi}{1 / 50} \times 0.01=\pi \text { radian }
\end{aligned}
