  • question_answer
    Two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic vibrations have same amplitude, frequency and phase. When they superimpose, the resultant form of vibration will be [MP PMT 1992]

    A)            A circle                                    

    B)            An ellipse

    C)            A straight line                      

    D)            A parabola

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       If \[{{y}_{1}}={{a}_{1}}\sin \omega \,t\] and \[{{y}_{2}}={{a}_{2}}\sin (\omega \,t+0)={{a}_{2}}\sin \omega \,t\] Þ  \[\frac{y_{1}^{2}}{a_{1}^{2}}+\frac{y_{2}^{2}}{a_{2}^{2}}-\frac{2{{y}_{1}}{{y}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}}=0\]Þ \[{{y}_{2}}=\frac{{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}}{{y}_{1}}\]
