PHY 104 Oscillatory Motion Objective Question

Question

Refer to the figure showing a sine wave (Magnitude vs. Time (s)) on page 27, in Worked Example 2. If the crest is at 90° and the trough at 270°, what is the phase angle at point 'e' in degrees?
Options
A 90°
B 180°
C 270°
Correct Answer
D 360°
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text for Worked Example 2 on page 27 states: 'Point c is 180°, point e is 270°, and point g is 360°.' Point 'e' is explicitly identified as 270°.

Hint

Locate point 'e' on the provided graph and read its corresponding phase angle based on the descriptions in the problem statement.
