QAIPMT-2007-Ph-2340: NEET 2007 Physics - Class 11 AIPMT-2007-Ph-2340 Solution: A particle executes simple harmonic oscillation with an…
A particle executes simple harmonic oscillation with an amplitude a. The period of oscillation is T. The minimum time taken by the particle to travel half of the amplitude from the equilibrium position is
Multiple Choice Options
- A T/8
- B T/12
- C T/2
- D T/4
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Displacement from the mean position
y = a sin _ ( 2 � T ) t
According to problem y = a/2
a / 2 = a sin _ ( 2 � T ) t
_ � 6 = ( 2 � T ) t _ t = T / 12
This is the minimum time taken by the particle to travel half of the amplitude from the equilibrium position.
