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 $E= \frac{1}{2} m\omega^2A^2$ where the symbols have their usual meanings. $E \propto A^2$
