Progressive waves — practice question

Two sinusoidal waveforms are shown in the diagram. At time $t = 0$ the waves are in phase. The dotted line marks $t = 18\,\text{s}$. At which time is the phase difference between the two oscillations $\frac{1}{8}$ of a cycle?

  • A$4.0\,\text{s}$
  • B$4.5\,\text{s}$
  • C$8.0\,\text{s}$
  • D$9.0\,\text{s}$
