Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\) describe SHM of same amplitude \(a\) and same frequency \(f\) along the same straight line. The maximum distance between the two particles is \(a \sqrt{2}\). The phase difference between the particle is

  1. A zero
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, two particles \(P\) and \(Q\) describes SHM of same amplitude \(a\) and frequency \(f\). Let equation of motion of two particles are \(x_1=a \sin \omega t\) and \(x_2=a \sin (\omega t+\phi)\) where, \(\phi\) be the phase difference. \(\therefore\) Path difference,…
