Physics-Simple Harmonic Motion

NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

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.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false, but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
