Question 63 of 194

Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude $\mathrm{A}$ and frequency $\omega$ along the $x$-axis. Their mean position is separated by distance $X_0\left(X_0\gt A\right)$. If the maximum separation between them is $\left(X_0+A\right)$, the phase difference between their motion is :

A$\frac{\pi}{3}$B$\frac{\pi}{4}$C$\frac{\pi}{6}$D$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Answer: (D) $\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\phi_1=0$
$\phi_2=\frac{\pi}{2}$
