The time period of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is $8 \,s$. At $t=0$ it is at the mean position. The ratio of distance covered by the particle in the $1^{\text{st}}$ second to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ second is:

  • A
    $(\sqrt{2}-1)$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $(\sqrt{2}+1)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
