JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations

When the displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator is one third of its amplitude, the ratio of total energy to the kinetic energy is \(\frac{x}{8}\), where \(x=\) _______.

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(15\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { Let total energy }=\mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{KA}^2 \) \( \mathrm{U}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~K}\left(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{3}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{KA}^2}{2 \times 9}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{9} \) \( \mathrm{KE}=\mathrm{E}-\frac{\mathrm{E}}{9}=\frac{8 \mathrm{E}}{9} \)…
