Wave Mechanics Question 540
Question: For a particle executing SHM the displacement x is given by $ x=A\cos ,\omega t $ . Identify the graph which nrepresents the variation of potential energy (P. E.) as a function of time t and displacement x.
Options:
A) I, III
B) II, IV
C) II, III
D) I, IV
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] In $ x=A,\cos ,\omega t $ , the particle starts oscillating from extreme position. So at $ t=0 $ , its potential energy is maximum.
