AIPMT MAINS 2011 Physics Oscillations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Two particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is

A

π

B

π/6

C

0

D

2π/3

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The phase difference is calculated based on the given conditions of displacement and direction, resulting in 2π/3.
