When an oscillator completes 100 oscillations its amplitude reduced to of initial value. What will be its amplitude, when it complettes 200 oscillations ?
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
This is a case of damped vibration as the amplitude of vibration is decreasing with time.
Amplitude of vibrations at any instant t is given by , where is the initial amplitude of vibrations and b is the damping constant.
Now, when t = 100T, [T is time period]
Let the amplitude be at t = 200T.
i.e. after completing 200 oscillations.
...(i)
and ...(ii)
From (i),
From (ii),
The amplitude will be reduced to 1/9 of initial value.
