In a simple harmonic oscillator, at the mean position

A

kinetic energy is minimum, potential energy is maximum

B

both kinetic and potential energies are maximum

C

kinetic energy is maximum,potential energy is minimum

D

both kinetic and potential energies are minimum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In a simple harmonic oscillator the potential energy is directly proportional to the square of displacement of the body from the mean position , at the mean postion the displacement is zero so the PE is zero but speed is maximum, hence KE is maximum.
