Physics of Sound

  1. Two simple harmonic motions of angular frequency 100 and 1000 rad s–1 have the same displacement amplitude. The ratio of their maximum accelerations is :​​
    1. 1 : 10
    2. 1 : 102
    3. ​1 : 103
    4. 1 : 104
Correct Option: B

Maximum acceleration of a particle in the simple harmonic motion is directly proportional to the square of angular frequency
i.e. ​ a ∝ ω2

a1
=
ω12
=
(100)2
=
1
a2ω22(1000)2100

⇒ a1 : a2 = 1 : 102.
