Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction having the same amplitude a and same period are superposed. If each differs in phase from the next by ${45^o}$, then
  • AThe resultant amplitude is $(1 + \sqrt {2)} a$
  • BThe phase of the resultant motion relative to the first is $90^°$
  • CThe energy associated with the resulting motion is $(3 + 2\sqrt {2)} $ times the energy associated with any single motion
  • D
