A particle, with restoring force proportional to displacement and resistive force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force F sin ω₀t. If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for ω = ω₀ and the energy of the particle is maximum for ω = ω₂, then
- ω₁ = ω₂ and ω₂ ≠ ω₀
- ω₁ = ω₀ and ω₂ = ω₀
- ω₁ ≠ ω₀ and ω₂ = ω₀
- ω₁ ≠ ω₀ and ω₂ ≠ ω₀
Correct answer: ω₁ = ω₀ and ω₂ = ω₀
Solution
The amplitude of a driven damped harmonic oscillator is maximum at the driving frequency ω₀, which matches the natural frequency of the system. The energy of the particle is also maximum at this resonance frequency, ω₀. Hence, ω₁ = ω₀ and ω₂ = ω₀.
