Define wavelength and state its $SI$ unit.
(N/A) Wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs in a transverse wave,or the distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions in a longitudinal wave.
It represents the distance covered by the wave in one complete oscillation.
The $SI$ unit of wavelength is the meter $(m)$.

View SolutionIf a travelling wave is given by $y(x, t) = 0.5 \sin (70.1 x - 10 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in metre,the time $t$ is in second,then the frequency of the wave is (in $Hz$)
The phase difference between the following two waves $y_1$ and $y_2$ is:
$y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
$y_2 = b \cos(\omega t - kx + \frac{\pi}{3})$
$y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
$y_2 = b \cos(\omega t - kx + \frac{\pi}{3})$
