JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Oscillations

  • question_answer
    A particle at the end of a spring executes S.H.M with a period\[{{t}_{1}}\], while the corresponding period for another spring is \[{{t}_{2}}\]. If the period of oscillation with the two springs in series is T then                         

    A) \[{{T}^{-1}}={{t}_{1}}^{-1}+{{t}_{2}}^{-1}\]

    B) \[{{T}^{2}}=t_{1}^{2}+t_{2}^{2}\]

    C) \[T={{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}\]

    D) \[{{T}^{-2}}=t_{1}^{-2}+t_{2}^{-2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{t}_{1}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{{{k}_{1}}},}\,\,\,{{t}_{2}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{{{k}_{2}}}}\] when springs are in series then, \[{{k}_{eff}}=\frac{{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}}}\]          \[\therefore \,\,\,T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m({{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}})}{{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{{{k}_{2}}}+\frac{m}{{{k}_{1}}}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{t_{2}^{2}}{{{(2\pi )}^{2}}}+\frac{t_{1}^{2}}{{{(2\pi )}^{2}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,{{T}^{2}}=t_{1}^{2}+t_{2}^{2}\]
