    The composition of two simple harmonic motions of equal periods at right angle to each other and with a phase difference of \[\pi \] results in the displacement of the particle along                                     [CBSE PMT 1990]

    A)            Straight line                          

    B)            Circle

    C)            Ellipse                                     

    D)            Figure of eight

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       If \[{{y}_{1}}={{a}_{1}}\sin \omega \,t\] and \[{{y}_{2}}={{a}_{2}}\sin (\omega \,t+\pi )\] Þ  \[\frac{{{y}_{1}}}{{{a}_{1}}}+\frac{{{y}_{2}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=0\]Þ \[{{y}_{2}}=-\frac{{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}}{{y}_{1}}\] This is the equation of straight line.
