Two material particles of equal masses are performing simple harmonic oscillations whose graphs are

shown. If E1 and E2 are their energies of oscillation, then
A
E1> E2
B
E2> E1
C
E1 = E2
D
Information is insufficient to decide.
Answer
E1 = E2
Explanation
Solution
Using E = 21mω2 A2; frequency of oscillation of wave 2 is double but amplitude is half hence E1 = E2.
