Physics of Sound

  1. A body executes S.H.M with an amplitude A. At what displacement from the mean position is the potential energy of the body is one fourth of its total energy ?​​​
    1. A / 4
    2. A / 2 ​
    3. 3A / 4
    4. Some other fraction of A.
Correct Option: B

P.E. , V =
1
2 x2
2

Total energy , E =
1
2 A2
2

P.E. =
1
E ⇒
1
2 x2 =
1
2 A2
428

∴ x =
1
A
2
