STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A particle executing SHM with an amplitude A. The displacement of the particle when energy is half of its total energy is
A
A/√2
B
A/2
C
A/4
D
A/3
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In SHM, the potential energy U = 1/2 mω²x² and total energy E = 1/2 mω²A². When U = E/2, x = A/√2.
