MCQ
Two particles executing $S.H.M.$ of same frequency, meet at $x=+A / 2$, while moving in opposite directions. Phase difference between the particles is .........
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
  • $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
d
(d)

$x=A \sin \omega t$

When displacement

$x=\frac{A}{2}$

$\frac{A}{2}=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)$

$\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}=\omega t+\phi$

$\omega t+\phi=30^{\circ} \text { or } 150^{\circ}$

When particles are in opposite direction at one lime phase is $30^{\circ}$ and at the other $150^{\circ}$. So phase difference is $120^{\circ}$.
