A simple harmonic oscillator has an amplitude A and time period T, the time required by it to travel from x = A to `x=(A)/(2)` is :

A

`(T)/(6)`

B

`(T)/(4)`

C

`(5T)/(7)`

D

`(T)/(2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
x = A `cos omegat`.
`(A)/(2)=A cos omega timpliesomega t=pi//3`.
`(2pi)/(T).t=pi//3impliest=T//6`
Hence correct choice is (a).
