Two particles A and B are describing SHM...

Two particles A and B are describing SHM of same amplitude (a) and same frequency (f) along a common straight line. The mean positions of the two SHMs are also same but the particles have a constant phase difference between them. It is observed that during the course of motion the separation between A and B is always less than or equal to a.
(a) Find the phase difference between the particles.
(b) If distance between the two particles is plotted with time, with what frequency will the graph oscillate?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(a) phi_(1)-phi_(2)=(2pi)/(3) (b) 2f`
