Oscillations - Result Question 22

25. The composition of two simple harmonic motions of equal periods at right angle to each other and with a phase difference of π results in the displacement of the particle along [1990]

(a) circle

(b) figures of eight

(c) straight line

(d) ellipse

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 25. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) x=asinωt and y=bsin(ωt+π)=bsinωt

or, xa=yb or y=bax

It is an equation of a straight line.

If two mutually perpendicular S.H.M’s of same frequency be x=9, sin ωt and y=a2sin(ωt+ϕ) then general equation of Lissajous figure is

x2a12+y2a222xya1a2cosϕ=sin2ϕ For ϕ=πx2a12+y2a222xya1a2cos(π)=sin2(π)xa1+ya2=0xa+ya2=0y=a2a1x
