The displacement y of a particle executing periodic motion is given by $\text{y}=4\cos^2\Big(\frac{\text{t}}{2}\Big)\sin(1000\text{t})$
This expression may be considered to be a result of the superposition of Three independent harmonics. Explanation:
$\text{y}=4\cos^2\Big(\frac{\text{t}}{2}\Big)\sin1000\text{t}$
$=2(1+\cos\text{t})\sin1000\text{t}$ $(\because2\cos^2\theta=1+\cos2\theta)$
$=2\sin1000\text{t}+2\sin1000\text{t}\cos\text{t}$
$=2\sin1000\text{t}+\sin(1000+1)\text{t}\\+\sin(1000-1)\text{t}$ $[\because2\sin\text{A}\cos\text{B}=\sin(\text{A + B})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})]$
$=2\sin1000\text{t}+\sin1001\text{t}+\sin999\text{t}$
This shows that the given expression is the result of three independent harmonics.
