Question:

The phase difference between two points A and B on a given wavefront separated by distance $\lambda$ is:

Options:

0

$\pi$

$\pi / 2$

$2 \pi$

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 0

Wavefront is defined as the locus of all the particles of medium vibrating in the same phase at any given instant. Thus, the phase difference between any two points situated on the same wavefront is zero.
