A

If both assertion and reson are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`A=(F_(0)//m)/(sqrt((omega^(2)-omega_(0)^(2))^(2)+(bomega//m)^(2)))`
From above equation, amplitude of oscillation, in absence of damping force (b=0), that the steady state amplitude approaches infinity as `omegatoomega_(0)`. That is, if there is not resistive force in the system and then it is possible to drive an oscillator with sinusoidal force at the resonance frequency, the amplitude of motion will build up without limit. this does not occur in practice because some damping is always present in real oscillation. due to presence of various dissipative force in the system, the amplitude of oscillation can grow to a large value only but cann never be infinite
