    A damped harmonic oscillator has a frequency of 5 oscillations per second. The amplitude drops to half its value for every 10 oscillations. The time it will take to drop to \[\frac{1}{1000}\]of the original amplitude is close to :- [JEE Main 8-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) 100 s               

    B) 20 s

    C) 10 s     

    D)   50 s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[A={{A}_{0}}{{e}^{-\gamma t}}\] \[A=\frac{{{A}_{0}}}{2}\]after 10 oscillations \[\because \]After 2 seconds \[\frac{{{A}_{0}}}{2}={{A}_{0}}{{e}^{-\gamma }}^{(2)}\] \[2={{e}^{2\gamma }}\] \[\ell n2=2\gamma \] \[\gamma =\frac{\ell n2}{2}\] \[\because \]\[A={{A}_{0}}{{e}^{-\gamma t}}\] \[\ell n\frac{{{A}_{0}}}{A}=\gamma t\] \[\ell n1000=\frac{\ell n2}{2}t\] \[2\left( \frac{3\ell n10}{\ell n2} \right)=t\] \[\frac{6\ell n10}{\ell n2}=t\] \[t=19.931\sec \] \[t\approx 20\sec \]
