The phase (at a time t) of a particle in simple harmonic motion tells

A

only the position of the particle at time t

B

only the direction of motion of the particle at time t

C

both the position and direction of motion of the paraticle at time t

D

neither the position of the particle nor its direction of motion at time t

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The phase at any instant tells us both about the displacement and direction of motion of the particle.
