MCQ
Two bodies performing $S.H.M.$ have same amplitude and frequency. Their phases at a certain instant are as shown in the figure. The phase difference between them is
  • A
    $\frac {11}{6}\pi $
  • $\pi $
  • C
    $\pi /3$
  • D
    $\frac {3}{5}\pi $

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\pi $
b
First particle is comming towards mean position

$\therefore \phi_{1}=\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}$

second particle is comming towards mean position but in negative side

$\therefore \phi_{2}=2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\therefore \phi_{2}-\phi_{1}=\left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)-\left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\pi$
