Progressive waves
 

Progressive waves problem 39


In a progressive water wave, two particles, P and Q, on the surface of the water, are a fixed horizontal distance apart. P and Q oscillate vertically. At time , the wave is as shown.




Which graph best represents the variation with time of the phase difference between the oscillation of the water particle P and the oscillation of the water particle Q?
