  1. A \(\pm \frac{\mathrm{A}}{4}\)
  2. B \(\pm \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}\)
  3. C \(\pm \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(\pm \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\pm \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(PE = \frac{1}{2}PE_{max}\) \(\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}kA^2\right)\)
