  1. Question 1

    Q1. The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is

    • A) Proportional to amplitude
    • B) Proportional to amplitude ²
    • C) Proportional to frequency
    • D) Proportional to frequency ²

    Answer: Proportional to amplitude ²

    Explanation: Total energy E = (1/2) m ω² A², where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude, so E ∝ A².
