Q. Which of the following characteristics does not change due to the damping of simple harmonic motion?
J & K CETJ & K CET 2003
Solution:
Damping is the term used to describe the loss of energy with each cycle of a simple harmonic oscillator. The simple harmonic oscillator begins with a certain amount of energy, which on oscillation gets converted between kinetic and potential energy.
Hence, there is change in amplitude, time period and angular frequency but initial phase remains same.
