NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11

Consider a damped oscillator where the damping force is given by F_d = -bv. If the damping constant b is small, which of the following expressions approximates the angular frequency ω' of the damped oscillator?

Question diagram
A

ω' ≈ ω

B

ω' ≈ 2ω

C

ω' ≈ ω/2

D

ω' ≈ 0

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

When the damping constant is small, the angular frequency of the damped oscillator ω' is approximately equal to the natural angular frequency ω of the system.
