Question
Explain damped oscillation. Give an example.
Solution
The oscillations in which the amplitude decreases gradually with the passage of time are called damped oscillations.
Example:
- The oscillations of a pendulum or pendulum oscillating inside an oil-filled container.
- Electromagnetic oscillations in a tank circuit.
- Oscillations in a dead beat and ballistic galvanometers.
