Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction having the same amplitude $a$ and same period are superposed. If each differs in phase from the next by $45^\circ$,then:

  • A
    The resultant amplitude is $(1 + \sqrt{2})a$
  • B
    The phase of the resultant motion relative to the first is $90^\circ$
  • C
    The energy associated with the resulting motion is $(3 + 2\sqrt{2})$ times the energy associated with any single motion
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(c)$
