STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Assertion: The graph of total energy of a particle in SHM with respect to position is a straight line with zero slope. Reason: Total energy of particle in SHM remains constant throughout its motion.
A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C
If assertion is true but reason is false.
D
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The total energy of SHM is the sum of kinetic and potential energy, which remains constant. The graph shows a straight line with zero slope, confirming the assertion.
