Find the displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator at which its P.E. is half of the maximum energy of the oscillator.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

PE of the oscillator at dispiacement y, `U=(1)/(2)momega^(2)y^(2)`
Maximum energy of the oscillator , `E=(1)/(2)momega^(2)A^(2)`
According to question,
`U=(1)/(2)E``(1)/(2)momega^(2)y^(2)=(1)/(4)momega^(2)A^(2)` `Rightarrow y=_(-)^(+)(A)/((sqrt2)`
