    A particle executes, simple harmonic motion with a frequency\[f.\] The frequency with which its kinetic energy oscillates is:

    A) \[f/2\]

    B) \[f\]

    C)  \[2f\]

    D) \[4f\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     For a particle executing SHM the displacement equation is given by \[y=a\sin \omega t=a\sin 2\pi ft.\] kinetic energy \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\left( \frac{dy}{dt} \right)}^{2}}\] where \[\frac{dy}{dt}=2\pi \,fa\,\cos 2\pi \,ft\] \[\therefore \] \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m\{{{(2\pi fa)}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}2\pi ft\}\] \[KE\propto (1+\cos 4\pi ft)\] \[\cos 4\pi ft\]changes periodically with frequency \[2f.\]
