Write the definition of the time period of a wave.
(N/A) The time period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a particle of the medium to complete one full oscillation or vibration as the wave passes through it.
Alternatively,it is the time taken by the wave to travel a distance equal to one wavelength $(\lambda)$.
It is denoted by the symbol $T$ and its $SI$ unit is the second $(s)$.

View SolutionThe phase difference between the following two waves $y_1$ and $y_2$ is:
$y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
$y_2 = b \cos(\omega t - kx + \frac{\pi}{3})$
$y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
$y_2 = b \cos(\omega t - kx + \frac{\pi}{3})$
