Question

A sine wave of peak amplitude 10 cm from the base line (X axis) has a time period of 5 secs. If a line parallel to X axis intersects this curve at a distance of 7 cms from the origin and clips the upper portion of the curve, the resultant curve will again be a sine curve but a flat upper portion, instead of a curved one. Will there be any change in time period of the curve. Find the new time period

A
Time period will change and its equal to 8 secs

Solution

The correct option is B Time period dosen't change and is still 5 secs
Time period will not change, since the removal or clipping takes place only along the Y axis, which affect the amplitude
Thus time period is still 5 secs
The correct option is (b)
