Q. The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is proportional to
A) Square root of displacement
B) Velocity
C) Frequency
D) Square of the amplitude
Explanation
(d) The energy of simple harmonic oscillator
$E = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^{2}A^{2}$
or $E \propto A^{2}$
$ie$, energy is proportional to square of the amplitude.
