Progressive waves — practice question

X and Y are two points on the water surface in a ripple tank. A source that produces waves with constant frequency starts to create waves, and these then move past X and Y, making them oscillate. What is the phase difference between X and Y?

  • B$135^{\circ}$
  • C$180^{\circ}$
  • D$270^{\circ}$
