Periodic Motion & SHM Basics

The period of S.H.M. of a particle is 1212s. The phase difference between the positions at t=3t = 3s and t=4t = 4s will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Phase difference Δϕ=2πTΔt\Delta\phi = \frac{2\pi}{T}\Delta t.
  2. Δϕ=2π12×(4−3)=π6\Delta\phi = \frac{2\pi}{12}\times(4 - 3) = \frac{\pi}{6}.
  3. So the answer is (c) π6\frac{\pi}{6}.
