Phase difference = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} X path difference \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} X 0.8 \Rightarrow \lambda = 4 X 0.8 = 3.2 m

velocity v = n \lambda = 120 X 3.2 = 384 m/s

 

 

In phase and out of phase -

\Delta x= n\lambda \: \: \: or\: \: \Delta \phi = 2n\pi

i.e. point seprated by distance n\lambda are in same phase.

\Delta x= \frac{m\lambda }{2}\left ( m= 1,3,5,7...... \right )\\\ or \: \Delta \phi = m\pi

Point separated by \frac{m\lambda }{2} are out of phase.
