The phase difference between two waves represented by $y_1 = 10^{-6} \sin [100t + (x/50) + 0.5] \, m$ and $y_2 = 10^{-6} \cos [100t + (x/50)] \, m$,where $x$ is expressed in meters and $t$ is expressed in seconds,is approximately .... $rad$.

Obtain the relation between wave velocity,angular frequency,and angular wave number.

For the travelling harmonic wave $y(x, t) = 2.0 \cos 2 \pi(10 t - 0.0080 x + 0.35)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in $s$. Calculate the phase difference between oscillatory motion of two points separated by a distance of:
$(a)$ $4 \, m$
$(b)$ $0.5 \, m$
$(c)$ $\lambda / 2$
$(d)$ $3 \lambda / 4$

The figure represents the instantaneous picture of a longitudinal harmonic wave travelling along the negative $x$-axis. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the movement of the points shown in the figure. The points with maximum displacement are:
