Question 464: Waves

Question

Two waves are represented by the equations
y
1
= $$a$$sin($$\omega $$t + kx + 0.57) m and
y
2
= acos($$\omega $$t + kx) m, where x is in meter and t $$in$$ sec. The phase difference between them is

Accepted Answer

Here, y
1
= a sin ($$\omega $$t + kx + 0.57)
and  y
2
= a cos ($$\omega $$t + kx)
$$ = a\sin \left[ {{\pi  \over 2} + \left( {\omega t + kx} \right)} \right]$$
Phase difference,  $$\Delta \phi  = {\phi _2} - {\phi _1}$$
$$ = {\pi  \over 2} - 0.57$$
$$ = {{3.14} \over 2} - 0.57$$
= 1.57 Ã¢ÂÂ 0.57 = 1 radian
