    The potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator when the particle is half way to its end point is (where E is the total energy):

    A) \[\left( \frac{1}{8} \right)E\]               

    B) \[\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)E\]

    C) \[\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)E\]               

    D) \[\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)E\]   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total \[{{\varepsilon }_{n}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\] \[P.E.=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{y}^{2}}\] \[\frac{P.E}{\text{Total}\,{{\omega }_{n}}}=\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{A}^{2}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{4}.\] Hence, the correction option is [b].
