MCQ
A body is executing simple harmonic motion with frequency $'n',$ the frequency of its potential energy is :
  • A
    $\mathrm{n}$
  • B
    $3 \mathrm{n}$
  • $2 \mathrm{n}$
  • D
    $4 \mathrm{n}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2 \mathrm{n}$
c
Displacement equation of $SHM$ of frequency $'n'$

$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{A} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t})=\mathrm{A} \sin (2 \pi \mathrm{nt})$

Now,

Potential energy

$U=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}=\frac{1}{2} K A^{2} \,\sin ^{2}(2 \pi n t)$

$=\frac{1}{2} k A^{2}\left[\frac{1-\cos (2 \pi(2 n) t)}{2}\right]$

So frequency of potential energy $=2 \mathrm{n}$
