Two particles $P$ and $Q$ perform $S.H.M.$ of same amplitude $a$ and frequency along the same straight line. At a particular instant,the maximum distance between the two particles is $\sqrt{2} a$. The initial phase difference between them is

The displacement of a particle in a periodic motion is given by $y = 4 \cos^{2}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right) \sin(1000 t)$. This displacement may be considered as the result of the superposition of $n$ independent harmonic oscillations. Here $n$ is

For a periodic motion represented by the equation $Y = \sin \omega t + \cos \omega t$,the amplitude of the motion is:
