$A$ particle initially at the mean position is executing simple harmonic motion with an angular frequency $\omega = \frac{\pi}{4} \text{ rad s}^{-1}$. The ratio of the distances travelled by the particle in the first second and the second second is:

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $(1+\sqrt{3}): 1$
  • D
    $(1+\sqrt{2}): 1$
