Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the phase difference between two waves that are in phase?
  • Step 1: Understand what 'in phase' means. This means that the two waves reach their maximum and minimum points at the same time.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when two waves are in phase, they are perfectly aligned with each other.
  • Step 3: Know that phase difference measures how much one wave is ahead or behind another wave.
  • Step 4: Since the two waves are aligned and reach their peaks together, the phase difference is 0.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the phase difference between two waves that are in phase is 0 radians.
