NEET Physics Damped & Forced Oscillations MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about damped and forced oscillations is correct?
In a damped oscillator, mechanical energy is converted to thermal energy due to external forces.
The displacement of a damped oscillator is independent of the damping constant.
The amplitude of a forced oscillator increases indefinitely regardless of damping.
Damping forces enhance the amplitude of oscillations in all scenarios.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a damped oscillator, the mechanical energy decreases as external forces inhibit the oscillations and convert energy to thermal energy, as stated in the NCERT context.
