NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about damped and forced oscillations is correct?
Damped oscillations result in a decrease of mechanical energy due to external forces.
The displacement of a damped oscillator is independent of the damping constant.
In forced oscillations, the system does not require external energy input to maintain its motion.
The period of a damped oscillator is always greater than that of an undamped oscillator regardless of damping strength.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Damped oscillations are characterized by a reduction in mechanical energy due to external forces, as stated in the NCERT context. The other statements incorrectly describe the nature of damped and forced oscillations.
