Displacement vs time curve for a particle SHM is as shown in the figure.

Which of the following statements is correct
A
Phase of the oscillator is same at t = 0 s and t = 2s
B
Phase of the oscillator is same at t = 2 s and t = 5s
C
Phase of the oscillator is same at t = 1 s and t = 7s
D
Phase of the oscillator is same at t = 1 s and t = 5s
Answer
Phase of the oscillator is same at t = 1 s and t = 5s
Explanation
Solution
The phase of a particle executing SHM is defined as the state of a particle as regards to its position and direction of motion at any instant of time in the given curve phase is same whent t = 1 s and t = 5 s. also phase is same when t = 2s and t= 6 s.
