Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(a)$ $t = \frac{T}{8}$ $(i)$ $\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4}$
$(b)$ $t = \frac{5T}{8}$ $(ii)$ $\theta = \frac{3\pi}{2}$
$(iii)$ $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$

(A) For an oscillator starting from the mean position,the displacement is given by $x = A \sin(\omega t)$.
The phase $\theta$ is given by $\theta = \omega t = \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)t$.
For $(a)$ $t = \frac{T}{8}$,the phase is $\theta = \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right) \times \left(\frac{T}{8}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}$. Thus,$(a-iii)$.
For $(b)$ $t = \frac{5T}{8}$,the phase is $\theta = \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right) \times \left(\frac{5T}{8}\right) = \frac{5\pi}{4}$. Thus,$(b-i)$.
Therefore,the correct matching is $(a-iii, b-i)$.

$A$ particle executes simple harmonic motion (amplitude $= A$) between $x = -A$ and $x = +A$. The time taken for it to go from $x = 0$ to $x = A/2$ is ${T_1}$ and to go from $x = A/2$ to $x = A$ is ${T_2}$. Then:

$A$ particle executes $SHM$ with amplitude $0.2 \,m$ and time period $24 \,s$. The time required for it to move from the mean position to a point $0.1 \,m$ from the mean position is (in $\,s$)

Consider a pair of identical pendulums,which oscillate with equal amplitude independently such that when one pendulum is at its extreme position making an angle of $2^o$ to the right with the vertical,the other pendulum makes an angle of $1^o$ to the left of the vertical. What is the phase difference between the pendulums?

$A$ particle executes $SHM$ of amplitude $25\, cm$ and time period $3\, s$. What is the minimum time required for the particle to move between two points $12.5\, cm$ on either side of the mean position?

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 $^o$)
