E

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Identify the wave number kk from the given wave equation.

    The general equation for a progressive wave is y=Asin⁡(ωt−kx)y = A \sin(\omega t - kx).
    The given equation is y=10sin⁡(1000πt−πx34)y = 10 \sin\left(1000\pi t - \frac{\pi x}{34}\right).
    By comparing the two equations, we can identify the wave number kk:

    k=π34k = \frac{\pi}{34}
  2. Use the formula for phase difference.

    The phase difference Δϕ\Delta \phi between two points separated by a distance Δx\Delta x is given by:

    Δϕ=kΔx\Delta \phi = k \Delta x
  3. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    The distance between the two layers is Δx=153\Delta x = 153 cm.
    Substitute k=π34k = \frac{\pi}{34} and Δx=153\Delta x = 153 cm:

    Δϕ=π34×153\Delta \phi = \frac{\pi}{34} \times 153
  4. Calculate the phase difference in radians.

    Δϕ=153π34\Delta \phi = \frac{153\pi}{34}

    To simplify the fraction, we can notice that 153=9×17153 = 9 \times 17 and 34=2×1734 = 2 \times 17.

    Δϕ=9×17×π2×17\Delta \phi = \frac{9 \times 17 \times \pi}{2 \times 17} Δϕ=9π2 radians\Delta \phi = \frac{9\pi}{2} \text{ radians}
  5. Convert the phase difference from radians to degrees.

    We know that π\pi radians is equal to 180∘180^\circ.

    Δϕ=92×180∘\Delta \phi = \frac{9}{2} \times 180^\circ Δϕ=9×90∘\Delta \phi = 9 \times 90^\circ Δϕ=810∘\Delta \phi = 810^\circ
  6. Compare the result with the given options.

    The calculated phase difference is 810∘810^\circ.
    The given options are:
    A. 270∘270^\circ
    B. 450∘450^\circ
    C. 900∘900^\circ
    D. 180∘180^\circ
    E. No Correct Option

    Since 810∘810^\circ is not among options A, B, C, or D, the correct choice is E.

    The final answer is E. No Correct Option\boxed{\text{E. No Correct Option}}.
