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 $\sin \omega \,t - \cos \omega \,t.$

Hence it represents $S.H.M.$
