Identify the correct variation of potential energy `U` as a function of displacement `x` from mean position (or `x^(2)`) of a harmonic oscillator (`U` at mean position `= 0`)

A

B

C

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`U = (1)/(2)kx^(2)`
i.e. `U` versus `x^(2)` graph is a straight line passing through origin.
