$A$ simple harmonic progressive wave is represented as $y = 0.03 \sin \pi (2 t - 0.01 x) \ m$. At a given instant of time,the phase difference between two particles $25 \ m$ apart is

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ In the case of propagation of longitudinal waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$.
$(ii)$ In the case of propagation of transverse waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $\pi \text{ rad}$.
$(iii)$ Along the direction of propagation of a wave,the distance between two particles having the same phase is called the wavelength of the wave.
$(iv)$ When a wave is reflected from a rarer medium,its phase increases by an amount of $\pi \text{ rad}$.

The equation of a sound wave is $y = 0.0015 \sin (62.4x + 316t)$. The wavelength of this wave is ..... $unit$.

$A$ travelling acoustic wave of frequency $500 Hz$ is moving along the positive $x$-direction with a velocity of $300 ms^{-1}$. The phase difference between two points $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ is $60^{\circ}$. The minimum separation between the two points is:

One end of a long string of linear mass density $8.0 \times 10^{-3} \; kg \; m^{-1}$ is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency $256 \; Hz$. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of $90 \; kg$. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At $t=0$,the left end (fork end) of the string $x=0$ has zero transverse displacement $(y=0)$ and is moving along the positive $y$-direction. The amplitude of the wave is $5.0 \; cm$. Write down the transverse displacement $y$ as a function of $x$ and $t$ that describes the wave on the string.

$A$ simple harmonic progressive wave is represented by the equation $y = 8\sin 2\pi (0.1x - 2t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. At any instant,the phase difference between two particles separated by $2.0 \, cm$ in the $x$-direction is ..... $^o$.
