Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A)

$θ_{i} = \frac{π}{2} θ_{f} = \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{2 π}{T} t = \frac{5 π}{6} - \frac{π}{2} = \frac{5 π - 3 π}{6} \frac{2 π}{T} t = \frac{2 π}{6} t = \frac{T}{6}$

The phase (at a time t ) of a particle in simple harmonic motion tells.

The phase of a particle in $S H M$ at time $t$ is $\frac{π}{6}$ . The following interference is drawn from this :

Assertion : The amplitude of oscillation can never be infinite.
Reason : The energy of oscillator is continuously dissipated.

If the amplitude increases $3$ times, by how many times will the loudness increase?

Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction, each of amplitude $^{'} a^{'}$ and periodic time $T$ are superposed. The first and second, and the second and third differ in phase from each other by $π / 4$ , with the first and third not being identical. Then
