When a wave travels in a medium,the particle displacement is given by $y(x, t) = 0.03 \sin \pi (2t - 0.01x)$,where $y$ and $x$ are in meters and $t$ is in seconds. The phase difference,at a given instant of time,between two particles $25 \ m$ apart in the medium is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • D
    $\pi$
