The particles of a medium vibrate about their mean positions whenever a wave travels through that medium. The phase difference between the vibrations of two such particles
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The phase difference between the vibrations of two particles of the medium is given by:
$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \Delta x$
it is clear that phase difference varies as the path difference between the particles varies, which is the distance, separating the particles.
