$\frac{x}{a}=\sin \omega t$

$\Rightarrow \cos \omega t=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{x_{2}}{a^{2}}\right)}$

$\frac{y}{a}=\sin 2 \omega t$

$=2 \sin \omega t \times \cos \omega t$

$=2 \frac{x}{a} \times \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}\right)}$

$ \Rightarrow y = \frac{{2x}}{{{a^2}}}\sqrt {\left( {a - x} \right)\left( {a + x} \right)} $

Hence trajectory of particle will look like as $(\mathrm{c})$

    Two parallel discs are connected by a rigid rod of length $L=0.5 \,m$ centrally. Each disc has a slit oppositely placed as shown in the figure. A beam of neutral atoms are incident on one of the discs axially at different velocities $v$, while the system is rotated at angular speed of $600 \,rev / second$, so that atoms only with a specific velocity emerge at the other end. Calculate the two largest speeds (in metre/second) of the atoms that will emerge at the other end.
