Physics of Sound

  1. The displacement of aparticle along the x-axis is given by x = a sin2 ωt . The motion of the particle corresponds to :​​​
    1. ​ simple harmonic motion of frequency ω / π ​
    2. simple harmonic motion of frequency 3ω / 2π
    3. ​non simple harmonic motion
    4. simple harmonic motion of frequency ω / 2π
Correct Option: A

x = a sin2 ωt =
a
(1 - cos 2ωt)
2

dx
=
a
2ω sin 2ωt
dt2

d2x
=
2a
. cos 2ωt
dt22

This represents an S. H. M. of frequency =
ω
π
