NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): At resonance, the amplitude of simple harmonic motion becomes infinite in the ideal case of zero damping.
Reason (R): In real systems, damping effects are always present, preventing the amplitude from becoming infinite.
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
According to the NCERT context, in the absence of damping, the amplitude at resonance is theoretically infinite. However, real systems always have some damping, preventing this scenario.
