The equation of a wave is given by (all quantities expressed in $M.K.S.$ units) $Y = 5 \sin(10\pi t - 0.1\pi x)$ along the $x$-axis. The phase difference between two points separated by a distance of $10 \ m$ along the $x$-axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • B
    $\pi$
  • C
    $2\pi$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
