The figure shows four progressive waves $A, B, C$ and $D$ with their phases expressed with respect to the wave $A$. It can be concluded from the figure that

  • A
    The wave $C$ is ahead by a phase angle of $\pi /2$ and the wave $B$ lags behind by a phase angle of $\pi /2$.
  • B
    The wave $C$ lags behind by a phase angle of $\pi /2$ and the wave $B$ is ahead by a phase angle of $\pi /2$.
  • C
    The wave $C$ is ahead by a phase angle of $\pi$ and the wave $B$ lags behind by a phase angle of $\pi$.
  • D
    The wave $C$ lags behind by a phase angle of $\pi$ and the wave $B$ is ahead by a phase angle of $\pi$.
