A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a particle of mass \(m\) and an ideal spring with spring constant \(k\). The particle oscillates with a time period \(T\). The spring is cut into two equal parts. If one part oscillates with the same particle, the time period will be

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of the particle \(=m\) spring constant \(=k\) The time period of oscillator, \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\) As \(k \propto \frac{1}{l}\) (where \(l\) is the length of spring)…
