The potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator when the particle is half way to its end point is: where $E$ energy is the total energy
  1. $\frac{2}{3} E$
  2. $\frac{1}{8} E$
  3. $\frac{1}{4} E$
  4. $\frac{1}{2} E$

Solution

P.E. $=\frac{1}{2} K x^2$ $=\frac{1}{2} K\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^2=\frac{E}{4}$ *
