Answer

phase difference$=\pi$ rad

Work Step by Step

We know that, $T=\frac{1}{f}$ We insert the value of $f$ in the formula to find $T$: $T=\frac{1}{500}=2\times 10^{-3}s=2ms$ The given interval $1$ ms is half of $T$ and it means that it is equal to half of one cycle i.e half of $2\pi$ rad. Thus, the phase difference$=\frac{1}{2}(2\pi)=\pi$ rad
