Two particles execute SHM of the same amplitude and frequency along the same straight line. They pass one another when going in opposite directions, each time their displacement is half of their amplitude. What is the phase difference between them?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In case of SHM,
and as here 
so 
or 
i.e., 
and 
So the phase of the two particles when they are crossing each other at 
in opposite directions are
So phase difference
