STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

A particle executes simple harmonic motion between x = -A and x = +A. The time taken for it to go from 0 to A/2 is T₁ and to go from A/2 to A is T₂. Then

A

T₁ < T₂

B

T₁ > T₂

C

T₁ = T₂

D

T₁ = 2T₂

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In SHM, the particle moves faster near the equilibrium position, so it takes less time to travel from 0 to A/2 compared to A/2 to A.
