The following figure shows displacement versus time curve for a particle executing simple harmonic motion : Which one of the following statements is correct?
Options
- APhase of the oscillating particle is same at t=1 ~s and t=3 ~s
- BPhase of the oscillating particle is same at t=1 ~s and t=3 ~s
- CPhase of the oscillating particle is same at t=3 ~s and t=7 ~s
- DPhase of the oscillating particle is same at t=3 ~s and t=7 ~s
Correct answer
C. Phase of the oscillating particle is same at t=3 ~s and t=7 ~s
Step-by-step solution
Phase of oscillating particle at any instant is a physical quantity which completely expresses the position and direction of motion of particle at that instant with respect to its mean position. Phase of the oscillating particle is same at t=3 ~s and t =7 ~s .
