    The displacement vs time of a particle executing SHM is shown in figure. The initial phase \[\phi \] is        

    A) \[-\pi <\phi <-\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    B) \[\pi <\phi <\frac{3\pi }{2}\]

    C) \[-\frac{3\pi }{2}<\phi <-\pi \]

    D) \[\frac{\pi }{2}<\phi <\pi \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] For \[x=(-A),\] we have \[-A=A\sin \,(\omega \times 0+{{\phi }_{0}})\,or\,{{\phi }_{0}}=-\frac{\pi }{2}\]. So for\[x<(-A),\,{{\phi }_{0}}<(-\pi /2)\].
