NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a damped oscillatory system, the angular frequency of oscillation decreases with an increase in damping constant. | Reason (R): The mechanical energy in a damped oscillating system is converted to thermal energy due to external forces.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true and connected; the damping force reduces the system's energy and affects the angular frequency as described in the given displacement equation.
