Two particles P and Q performs S.H.M. of same amplitude and frequency along the same straight line. At a particular instant, maximum distance between two particles is 2 ​ a . The initial phase difference between them is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Maximum distance is 2 ​ a , means one particle lies at x = 2 ​ a ​ and second lies at x = − 2 ​ a ​ . Hence, x 1 ​ = a sin ( ω t + 4 π ​ ) and x 2 ​ = a sin ( ω t − 4 π ​ ) Thus initial phase difference between the particles is 2 π ​
