    When the displacement is half the amplitude the ratio of potential energy to the total energy is:

    A)  1/4                                       

    B)         1/2                       

    C)         1/8                                       

    D)         1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Potential energy is given by \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{a}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t\]                 ?(i) Total energy \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{a}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\]                 ?(ii) Now from (i), (ii) and (iii), we get \[\frac{\text{Potential}\,\text{energy}}{\text{Total}\,\text{energy}}={{\sin }^{2}}\omega t=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\] Now for \[x=\frac{a}{2},\]we get \[\frac{\text{Potential}\,\text{energy}}{\text{Total}\,\text{energy}}={{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\]
