8.0s
4.5s
4.0s
9.0s

A displacement-time graph for a transverse wave is shown in the diagram.
The phase difference between X and Y can be expressed as nπ.
What is the value of n?

3π/4 rad
Noise reduction headphones actively produce their own sound waves in order to cancel out external sound waves.
A microphone in the headphones receives waves of one frequency. A loudspeaker in the headphones then produces a wave of that frequency but of a different phase.
What is the phase difference between the external sound wave and the wave produced by the loudspeaker in the headphones?
360°
180°
90°
270°
