JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion JEE PYQ-Simple Harmonic Motion

  • question_answer
    Two simple harmonic motions, as shown, are at right angles. They are combined to form Lissajous figures.
    \[x(t)=A\sin (at+\delta )\]
    \[y(t)=B\sin (bt)\]
    Identify the correct match below                                                                           [JEE Online 15-04-2018 (II)]

    A)  \[\text{Parameters: A=B, a=2b;}\delta \text{=}\frac{\pi }{2};Curve:Circle\]

    B)  \[\text{Parameters: A=B, a=b;}\delta \text{=}\frac{\pi }{2};Curve:line\]

    C)  \[\text{Parameters: A}\ne \text{B, a=b; }\delta \text{=}\frac{\pi }{2};Curve:\text{Ellipse}\]

    D)  \[\text{Parameters:}A\ne B,a=b;\delta =0;\text{Curve : Parabola}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Lissajous curves take common shapes depending on the variables in the expressions.
    \[x=A\sin (at+\delta )\]
    \[y=B\sin (bt+r)\]
    If \[A\ne B\And a=b\] we obtain ellipse
