Question

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is proportional to

• A. Amplitude
• B. Square of amplitude
• C. Frequency
• D. Velocity

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Square of amplitude

Answer 2

In SHM, the total energy is

$E = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^{2}A^{2}$

Where the symbols have their usual meanings

$E \propto A^{2}$
