Two waves are represented by the equations $y_1 = a \sin \omega t$ and $y_2 = a \cos \omega t$. The first wave

$A$ travelling acoustic wave of frequency $500 Hz$ is moving along the positive $x$-direction with a velocity of $300 ms^{-1}$. The phase difference between two points $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ is $60^{\circ}$. The minimum separation between the two points is:

The speed of a wave in a medium is $760\, m/s$. If $3600$ waves are passing through a point in the medium in $2$ minutes, then its wavelength is ...... $m$.

The equation of a wave travelling along the positive $x$-axis,as shown in the figure at $t = 0$,is given by:
