MCQ
Which of the following function represents a simple harmonic oscillation
- ✓$\sin \omega t - \cos \omega t$
- B${\sin ^2}\omega t$
- C$\sin \omega x + \sin 2\omega t$
- D$\sin \omega x - \sin 2\omega t$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\sin \omega t - \cos \omega t$
a
The standard differential equation is satisfied by only the function $\sin \omega \,t - \cos \omega \,t.$
The standard differential equation is satisfied by only the function $\sin \omega \,t - \cos \omega \,t.$
Hence it represents $S.H.M.$
