The correct Answer is:
To determine which relation for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) is not correct based on dimensions, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Displacement in SHM**: - In simple harmonic motion, the displacement \( y \) can be expressed in terms of amplitude \( A \), angular frequency \( \omega \), time \( t \), and phase difference \( \phi \). - The general form is: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t + \phi) \] - Here, \( A \) is the maximum displacement (amplitude), and its unit is meters (m). 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: \( y = A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{T}\right) \) - Here, \( T \) is the time period (in seconds). - The term \( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \) is dimensionless (as both \( t \) and \( T \) are in seconds). - Therefore, \( y \) has the unit of \( A \), which is meters. This option is correct. - **Option B**: \( y = A \cos(\omega t) \) - Similar to Option A, \( \omega t \) is dimensionless since \( \omega \) (angular frequency) has units of radians per second and \( t \) is in seconds. - Thus, \( y \) has the unit of \( A \), which is meters. This option is also correct. - **Option C**: \( y = \frac{A}{T} \) - Here, \( A \) is in meters, and \( T \) is in seconds. - Therefore, the unit of \( \frac{A}{T} \) is \( \frac{\text{meters}}{\text{seconds}} \), which is a unit of velocity (m/s). - This does not represent a displacement, making this option incorrect. - **Option D**: \( y = A\sqrt{2} \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{T}\right) \) - The term \( A\sqrt{2} \) is still in meters, and \( \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{T}\right) \) is dimensionless. - Thus, \( y \) has the unit of meters, making this option correct. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the dimensional analysis, the relation that is not correct for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is **Option C**: \( y = \frac{A}{T} \). ### Final Answer: **Option C is not correct.**
