Question

A particle performing SHM takes time equal to T (time period of SHM) in consecutive appearances at a particular point. This point is

• A. An extreme position
• B. The mean position
• C. Between positive extreme and mean position
• D. Between negative extreme and mean position

Answer 1

The correct option is A An extreme position

In SHM, time period is defined as the time interval in which a particle returns to the same position after leaving that point. Now take one extreme position into consideration, then once particle leaves the position it comes again to the same position after a time period but in case of mid point it crosses two times.

Ans: extreme position
