To understand the meaning of a phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) (or 90 degrees) between two particles executing simple harmonic motion (SHM), we can break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)**: - SHM is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position and acts in the opposite direction. - The general equation for the displacement \(y\) of a particle in SHM can be expressed as: \[ ...
