Answer» Correct Answer - A Potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator, `U = (1)/(2)m omega^(2)y^(2)` When the particle is half way to its end point, i.e. At half of its amplitude, then, `y = (A)/(2)` Hence, potential energy, `U = (1)/(2)m omega^(2)((A)/(2))^(2)=(1)/(4)((1)/(2)m omega^(2)A^(2))=(E)/(4)` |
