    A simple harmonic oscillator oscillates with a frequency f. Then the potential energy varies with the frequency:

    A) \[2f\]                                    

    B) \[\frac{f}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{f}{3}\]                                   

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                                                                                         Using the relation, \[x=A\sin \omega t,\] \[U=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{A}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t\] \[=\frac{1}{4}k{{A}^{2}}(1-\cos \,2\omega t)\] So, frequency of potential energy is twice of frequency of displacement
