Displacement from mean position

$=\mathrm{A}-\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\sqrt{2}}$

So phase of the particle which is going towards

$+x$ is $\phi_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

and for other particle $\quad \phi_{2}=2 \pi-\pi / 4$

$=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$

Phase difference $=\frac{7 \pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{6 \pi}{4}=\frac{3 \pi}{2}$ or $\frac{\pi}{2}$
