Displacement versus time curve for a particle executing SHM is shown in the figure. Choose the correct statements.
Displacement versus time curve for a particle executing SHM is shown in the figure. Choose the correct statements.

a) phase of the oscillator is same at t = 0 s and t = 2 s

b) phase of the oscillator is the same at t = 2 s and t = 6 s

c) phase of the oscillator is the same at t = 1 s and t = 7 s

d) phase of the oscillator is the same at t = 1 s and t = 5 s

Answer:

The correct options are

b) phase of the oscillator is the same at t = 2 s and t = 6 s

d) phase of the oscillator is the same at t = 1 s and t = 5 s

Explanation Two particles are said to be in same phase if the mode of vibration is same i.e., their distance will be nλ(/n=1,2,3,….)
