The equation \(y(x,t) = 0.005 \cos (\alpha x- \beta t)\) describes a wave traveling along the \(x\text-\)axis. If the wavelength and the time period of the wave are \(0.08~\text{m}\) and \(2.0~\text{s}\), respectively, then \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) in appropriate units are:
1. \(\alpha = 25.00\pi, \beta = \pi\)
2. \(\alpha = \frac{0.08}{\pi}, \beta = \frac{2.0}{\pi}\)
3. \(\alpha = \frac{0.04}{\pi}, \beta = \frac{1.0}{\pi}\)
4. \(\alpha = 12.50\pi, \beta = \frac{\pi}{2.0}\)

Two progressive waves are represented by, \(y_1=5\sin(200t-3.14x)\) and
 \(y_2=10\sin\left(200t-3.14x+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\) 
(\(x\) is in metres, and \(t\) is in seconds). Path difference between the two waves is:
1. \(\frac{100}{\pi}~\text{m}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{3}~\text{m}\)
3. \(3.14\times \frac{\pi}{3}~\text{m}\)
