NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations MCQ Question
Which of the following statements regarding damped and forced oscillations is correct?
In damped oscillations, mechanical energy is conserved throughout the motion.
The damping force reduces the amplitude of oscillations over time.
Damped oscillations occur only when external forces are absent.
The angular frequency of a damped oscillator is always greater than that of an undamped oscillator.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In damped oscillations, external forces such as drag inhibit the motion and lead to a decrease in mechanical energy, thereby reducing the amplitude over time, as stated in the context.
