Question
In order that the resultant path on superimposing two mutually perpendicular SHMs be a circle, the condition is that
Options
A.The amplitude of both SHM should be equal and they should have a phase difference of π/2
B.The amplitude should be in the ratio 1 : 2 and the phase difference should be zero.
C.The amplitude should be in the ratio 1 : 2 and the phase difference should be π/2
D.The amplitude should be equal and the phase difference should be zero.
Solution
x = A cos ωt, y = B cos(ωt + φ)
If φ =
& A = B ⇒ x2 + y2 = A2
If φ =
& A = B ⇒ x2 + y2 = A2Create a free account to view solution
