Question
Which of the following fuctions represects a simple harmonic oscillation ?
Options
A.sinωt - cosωt
B.sin2ωt
C.sin2 ωt + cos 2 ωt
D.sin2 ωt - cos 2 ωt
Solution
sin ωt - cos ωt = √2 

= √2 sin (ωt - π/4)
which represents simple harmonic motion.


= √2 sin (ωt - π/4)
which represents simple harmonic motion.
