Superposition of SHMs


Assertion (A): A SHM may be assumed as composition of many SHM's.
Reason (R): Superposition of many SHM's (along same line) of same frequency will be a SHM.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) states that an SHM can be viewed as a composition of multiple SHMs. Reason (R) states that the superposition of multiple SHMs along the same line and with the same frequency results in another SHM.


Both statements are true, and (R) provides the explanation for how (A) can be possible.
