Thus, the amplitude of the oscillator is proportional to ω −1/2 as its frequency<br />
changes.<br />
The energy E ofthe oscillator is given by<br />
E = 1<br />
2 (y′ ) 2 + 1<br />

Thus, E/ω is constant. The quantity E/ω is called the action. It is an example of<br />
an adiabatic invariant.<br />
