The path difference between the two waves:

{y_1} = {a_1}\,\sin \left( {\omega t - \frac{{2\pi x}}{\lambda }} \right)\,

and

{y_2} = {a_2}\,\sin \left( {\omega t - \frac{{2\pi x}}{\lambda } + \phi } \right)\,

will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\frac{\lambda }{{2\pi }}\phi

Option C (

\frac{\lambda }{{2\pi }}\phi

) is correct because the path difference is related to the phase difference by the formula: path difference = (wavelength / 2π) * phase difference.
