A body moves between two points A and B ...

A body moves between two points A and B which are at a distance a and b from the point O in the same straight line OAB. Then the amplitude of oscillation is

A

`(a+b)/(2)`

B

`sqrt((a^(2)+b^(2))/(2))`

C

`(b-a)/(2)`

D

b-a

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`L=b-a`
`2A=b-a`
`therefore A=(b-a)/(2)`.
