If two sine waves of the same frequency have a phase difference of JT radians, then_______?

Correct answer: C. when one wave reaches its maxi¬mum value, the other will reach its minimum value

  • A. both will reach their minimum values at the same instant
  • B. both will reach their maximum values at the same instant
  • C. when one wave reaches its maxi¬mum value, the other will reach its minimum value
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

A phase difference of \(\pi\) radians equals 180°, so the waves are oppositely phased. Consequently, whenever one reaches its maximum, the other reaches its minimum.
