Question

Two objects are in simple harmonic motion.
Based on the graphs, how does the motion between the two objects differ?
I. Frequency
II. Angular Frequency
III. Period
IV. Amplitude
V. Phase Constant

• A. I and II
• B. I, II, and III
• C. I and III
• D. V
• E. All of them (I - V)

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

V

The time period of both the motion is same from the intercepts of the curve on x-axis.

Hence the frequency as well as the angular frequency of the motion is same.

Amplitude is the maximum value of position form the x-axis which is $3$ for both.

However the phase of the motions is different since one wave is ahead of the other.

Hence the correct answer is option D.
