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.
