To say that one wave is out of phase with another is to say that the waves are
A. all of the above
B. of different amplitudes.
C. out of step.
D. of different wavelengths.
E. of different frequencies.
Answer (1)
When waves are described as out of phase , it means they are out of step regarding their peaks and troughs. This misalignment in timing is the core definition of being out of phase and does not necessarily relate to their amplitudes, wavelengths, or frequencies. Therefore, in this context, the correct answer is that the waves are out of step . ;
