Question

The phase space diagram for simple harmonic motion is a circle centered at the origin. In the figure, the two circles represent the same oscillator but for different initial conditions, and E1 and E2 are the total mechanical energies respectively. Then

Solution

The correct option is B E1=4E2
For, a S.H.M the total mechanical energy EA2 (A=amplitude)
In case of small circle amplitude a and energy E2 and in case of large circle amplitude is 2a and energy E1.
So, E2E1=(a)2(2a)2
E1=4E2
N.B: In case of circular motion the radius of circle donates the amplitude of S.H.M when it is projected along its diameter.
