Two particles P and Q describe S.H.M. of same amplitude a, same frequency f along the same shaight line. The maximum distance between the two particles is a2 . The phase difference between the particle is:

a
zero
b
π2
c
π6
d
π3

detailed solution

Correct option is B

x1 = a sin(ωt+∅1)x2 = a sin(ωt+∅2 )⇒  |x1-x2| = 2a sin(ωt+∅1+∅2 2)cos(∅ 1+∅ 22)To maximize |x1-x2| : sin(ωt+∅1+∅22) = 1⇒a2 = 2a ×1×cos(∅1-∅22)⇒ 12 =cos(∅1-∅22)⇒π4 = ∅1-∅22 ⇒ ∅1-∅2 = π2
