Consider two SHMs along the same straight line $x_1=A_1 \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_1\right)$ and $x_2=A_2 \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_2\right)$,where $A_1$ and $A_2$ are their amplitudes and $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ are their initial phase angles. If $R$ is the resultant amplitude,match the conditions in Column-$I$ with the resultant amplitudes in Column-$II$:

The amplitude of the vibrating particle due to the superposition of two $SHMs$,$y_1 = \sin \left( \omega t + \frac{\pi}{3} \right)$ and $y_2 = \sin \omega t$ is:

Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are same and equal to $A$ and $T$,respectively. At time $t=0$,one particle has displacement $A$ while the other one has displacement $\frac{-A}{2}$ and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time $t$,then $t$ is

The displacement $y$ of a particle executing periodic motion is given by $y = 4\cos^2(t/2)\sin(1000t)$. This expression may be considered to be a result of the superposition of $..........$ independent harmonic motions.

$A$ particle executes two types of $SHM$. $x_1 = A_1 \sin \omega t$ and $x_2 = A_2 \sin [\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}]$.
