NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a damped oscillator, the angular frequency decreases with the increase in damping constant. | Reason (R): The damping force is proportional to the velocity, which leads to energy dissipation.
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
The NCERT context states that the angular frequency of a damped oscillator is affected by the damping constant, and the damping force being proportional to velocity leads to energy dissipation, explaining the decrease in angular frequency.
