NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a damped oscillating system, the angular frequency of the oscillator remains unchanged. | Reason (R): In a damped oscillator, the damping force is proportional to the velocity of the oscillator.
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
In a damped oscillating system, the angular frequency decreases due to damping, thus making A false. The reason statement is true as the damping force is indeed given by Fd = -bv, which is proportional to velocity.
