Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction having the same amplitude $a$ and same period are superposed. If each differs in phase from the next by $45^\circ$,then:

  • A
    The resultant amplitude is $(1 + \sqrt{2})a$
  • B
    The phase of the resultant motion relative to the first is $90^\circ$
  • C
    The energy associated with the resulting motion is $(3 + 2\sqrt{2})$ times the energy associated with any single motion
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(c)$

The displacement of a particle in a periodic motion is given by $y = 4 \cos^{2}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right) \sin(1000 t)$. This displacement may be considered as the result of the superposition of $n$ independent harmonic oscillations. Here $n$ is

Two $SHM$ are represented by equations,$y_1 = 6\cos \left( {6\pi t + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$ and $y_2 = 3\left( {\sqrt 3 \sin 3\pi t + \cos 3\pi t} \right)$. Which of the following statements is true?

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion along the same straight line with the same amplitude and same frequency. The two particles pass one another when moving in opposite directions each time at a distance of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times the amplitude from their common mean position. The phase difference between the two particles is (in $^{\circ}$)
