MCQ
In a wave, the path difference corresponding to a phase difference of $ \phi$ is
- A$\frac{\pi }{{2\lambda }}\phi$
- B$\frac{\pi }{\lambda }\phi $
- ✓$\frac{\lambda }{{2\pi }}\phi$
- D$\frac{\lambda }{\pi }\phi$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{\lambda }{{2\pi }}\phi$
c
(c)For $2$ $\pi$ phase difference $\to$ Path difference is $\lambda$
For $\phi $ phase difference $\to$ Path difference is $\frac{\lambda }{{2\pi }} \times \phi$
(c)For $2$ $\pi$ phase difference $\to$ Path difference is $\lambda$
For $\phi $ phase difference $\to$ Path difference is $\frac{\lambda }{{2\pi }} \times \phi$
