Wave Mechanics Question 545
Question: Suppose a tunnel is dug along a diameter of the earth. A particle is dropped from a point, a distance h directly above the tunnel, the motion of the particle is
Options:
A) simple harmonic motion
B) parabolic
C) oscillatory
D) non-periodic
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
When a particle is dropped from a height h above the centre of a tunnel. (i) It will oscillate through the earth to a height h on both sides. (ii) The motion of a particle is periodic. (iii) The motion of a particle will not be S.H.M.
