SECTION-B
2. Derive an expression for the total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator and show that it is
constant and proportional to the square of the amplitude.
3. Using the general solution of equation of damped harmonic oscillator discuss the case of
critical damping.
4. Define Quality factor of a damped oscillator. Deduce an expression for it for a mechanical
oscillator and an electrical oscillator.
5. Derive an expression for the velocity amplitude of a forced oscillator. Discuss the variation
of velocity amplitude with driving force frequency and show its behavior graphically.
6. Explain the meaning of coupled oscillator. Define and explain normal coordinates, degrees
of freedom and normal modes of vibration of an oscillatory system.
7. Show that all energy arriving at the boundary in the incident wave leaves the boundary in
the reflected and transmitted wave. Define reflection and transmission coefficients of
energy. Show that the sum of the reflection and transmission coefficients of energy is
always unity.
