Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude Aand frequency ω along the x - axis. Their mean position is separated by distance X0 (X0 >A). If the maximum separation between them is (X0 + A), the phase difference between their motion is

  • π/3

  • π/4

  • π/6

  • π/2

Solution

A.

π/3

x1 = A sin( ωt + Φ1)
x2 = A sin( ωt + Φ2)
