  • A
    $1 \, cm$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} \, cm$
  • C
    $2 \, cm$
  • D

Two particles are in $SHM$ on the same straight line with amplitudes $A$ and $2A$ and with the same angular frequency $\omega$. It is observed that when the first particle is at a distance $A/\sqrt{2}$ from the origin and moving toward the mean position,the other particle is at the extreme position on the other side of the mean position. Find the phase difference between the two particles. (in $^o$)

$A$ particle starts executing simple harmonic motion from one extreme position. If $a, b$ and $c$ are the displacements of the particle from the mean position at the ends of three successive seconds,the frequency of simple harmonic motion is
