(4) If the assertion and reason both are correct and the
reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(5) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is
the correct explanation of the assertion.
1. Assertion: All oscillatory motions are necessarily
periodic motion but all periodic motion are not
oscillatory.
Reason: Simple pendulum is an example of
oscillatory motion.
2. Assertion: Simple harmonic motion is a uniform
motion.
Reason: Simple harmonic motion is a projection of
uniform circular motion.
3. Assertion: Acceleration is proportional to the
displacement that condition is not sufficient for
simple harmonic motion.

functions.

a definite interval of time.
5. Assertion: The graph between velocity and
displacement for a simple harmonic oscillator is a
parabola.
Reason: Velocity does not change uniformly with
displacement in harmonic motion.
6. Assertion: When a simple pendulum is made to

7. Assertion: The graph of total energy of a particle in
SHM w.r.t. position is a straight line with zero slope.
Reason: Total energy of particle in SHM remains
constant throughout its motion.
8. Assertion: The percentage change in time period is
1.5%, if the length of simple pendulum increases by
3%.
Reason: The body falls freely, when acceleration of
a body is equal to acceleration due to gravity.
9. Assertion: Damped oscillation indicates less of
energy.
Reason: The energy loss in damped oscillation may
be due to friction, air resistance etc.
10. Assertion: In a SHM, kinetic and potential energies
become equal when the displacement is 1/√2 times
the amplitude.
Reason: In SHM kinetic energy is zero when
potential energy is maximum.
11. Assertion: If the amplitude of a simple harmonic
oscillator is doubled, its total energy become four
time.

the square of amplitude of variation of the harmonic
oscillator.

tension in the string in maximum at the mean position
and minimum at the extreme position.
Reason: The velocity of oscillating bob in simple
harmonic motion is maximum of the mean position.
13. Assertion: The amplitude of oscillation can never be
infinite.
Reason: The energy of oscillator is continuously
dissipated.
