If the amplitude of linear S.H.M. is decreased then

  1. A its period and total energy will increase
  2. B its period will increase, and total energy will decrease
  3. C its period and total energy will decrease.
  4. D its period will not change but total energy will decrease
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) its period will not change but total energy will decrease

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The period of the S.H.M. does not depend on the amplitude. Its energy is given by
\(
\mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m} \omega^2 \mathrm{~A}^2
\)
Hence its energy will decrease if amplitude is decreased.
