Question

A particle of mass m is located in a one-dimensional potential field, where the potential energy of the particle depends on the coordinate X as U(x)=U0(1cosβx), Where U0 and β are constants. Find the time period of small oscillations that the particle performs about the equilibrium position.

Solution

The correct option is B 2πmU0β2
U(x)=U0(1cosβx)
F=dUdx=βU0 sin βx
f(0)=dUdxx0=U0β2 cos 0=U0β2
T=2πmf(0)=2πmU0β2
