NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
If a particle is undergoing simple harmonic motion described by x(t) = A cos(ωt) with φ = 0, and the angular frequency ω is doubled, what happens to the time period T?
It is halved.
It is doubled.
It remains the same.
It becomes zero.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
From the equation ω = 2π/T, if the angular frequency ω is doubled, the time period T becomes half, since ω is inversely proportional to T.
