NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
What is the relationship between the driving frequency and the amplitude of an oscillator in Simple Harmonic Motion?
The amplitude can be infinitely large regardless of driving frequency.
The maximum amplitude is determined by the driving frequency and damping.
Higher amplitude occurs only if the driving frequency is zero.
Amplitude is independent of the driving frequency.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The maximum possible amplitude for a given driving frequency is governed by the driving frequency and the damping, as stated in the context regarding resonance.
