A reduction in amplitude of successive oscillation indicate:

  • A.free vibration
  • B.force vibration
  • C.damped vibration
  • D.natural vibration

Answer: C

It indicates damped vibration.

In damped vibration energy is dissipated by friction or a damper in every cycle, so each oscillation has a smaller amplitude than the one before.

Free (natural) vibration without damping keeps a constant amplitude, and in forced vibration an external periodic force maintains the motion. Neither shows the steady decay described.
