a

The resultant amplitude is large left( {1 + sqrt 2 } right)a

b

The phase of the resultant motion relative to the first is 90°

c

The energy associated with the resulting motion is large left( {3 + 2sqrt 2 } right) times the energy associated with any single motion

d

The resulting motion is not simple harmonic

answer is A.

Detailed Solution

Let simple harmonic motions be represented by

large {y_1}, = ,asin left( {omega t - frac{pi }{4}} right);,,{y_2}, = ,asin omega t,,,and

large {y_3} = ,asin left( {omega t + frac{pi }{4}} right)  On superimposing,resultant SHM will be 

large y, = ,a[sin left( {omega t - frac{pi }{4}} right) + sin left( {omega t + frac{pi }{4}} right)]

large = ,aleft[ {2sin omega tcos frac{pi }{4} + sin omega t} right]

large = ,aleft[ {sqrt 2 sin omega t + sin omega t} right], = ,aleft( {1 + sqrt 2 } right)sin omega t

Resultant amplitude =  large left( {1 + sqrt 2 } right)a

Energy is S.H.M. large propto  (Amplitude)2

large therefore frac{{{E_{operatorname{Re} sultan t}}}}{{{E_{operatorname{Sin} gle}}}}, = ,{left( {frac{A}{a}} right)^2} = ,{left( {sqrt 2 + 1} right)^2} = ,left( {3 + 2sqrt 2 } right)

large Rightarrow ,{E_{operatorname{Re} sultan t}},, = ,,(3 + 2sqrt 2 ){E_{operatorname{Sin} gle}}
