CBSEENPH11018758

A wave of frequency 400Hz has a velocity 340m/s. What is the distance between two nearest points which are out of phase by 120°?

Solution

Given,
Frequency of the wave, v = 400HZ
Velocity of the wave, v = 340m/s 
∴ Distance between two nearest points which are out by phase 120o is given by the wavelength of the wave, 
                   lambda equals v over straight v equals 340 over 400 equals 0.85 straight m
