Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the phase difference between two particles in simple harmonic motion that are 90 degrees out of phase?
  • Step 1: Understand what 'phase difference' means. It refers to how far one wave or particle is ahead or behind another in its cycle.
  • Step 2: Know that a full cycle of motion is 360 degrees.
  • Step 3: Recognize that 90 degrees is one-quarter of a full cycle (360 degrees).
  • Step 4: Convert 90 degrees into radians. Use the fact that 180 degrees equals π radians.
  • Step 5: Calculate the conversion: 90 degrees is equal to π/2 radians.
