MCQ
Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude $A$ and frequency $\omega $ along the $x-$ axis. Their mean position is separated by distance $X_0 (X_0> A)$. If the maximum separation between them is $(X_0 +A)$, the phase difference between their motion is
  • A
    $\frac{\pi }{6}$
  • $\frac{\pi }{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi }{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi }{4}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\pi }{2}$
b
At extreme position, phase difference  $=\frac{\pi }{2}$
