Physics of Sound

  1. A particle is subjected to two mutually per-pendicular simple harmonic motions such that its x and y coordinates are given by
    x = 2 sin ωt ;   y = 2 sinωt +
    π
    4

    The path of the particle will be
    1. a straight line
    2. a circle
    3. an ellipse
    4. ​a parabola
Correct Option: C

As phase difference =
π
, the resultant path of particle is an ellipse.
