If the amplitudes of a damped harmonic oscillator at times \(t=0, t_1\) and \(t_2\) are \(A_0\), \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) respectively, then the amplitude of the oscillator at a time of \(\left(t_1+t_2\right)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{A}_0+\mathrm{A}_1+\mathrm{A}_2}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{A}_2 \mathrm{~A}_0}{\mathrm{~A}_1}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{A}_1 \mathrm{~A}_0}{\mathrm{~A}_2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{A}_1 \mathrm{~A}_2}{\mathrm{~A}_0}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{A}_1 \mathrm{~A}_2}{\mathrm{~A}_0}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A(t) = A_0 e^{-\gamma t}\) \(A_1 = A_0 e^{-\gamma t_1}\) \(A_2 = A_0 e^{-\gamma t_2}\) \(A(t_1+t_2) = A_0 e^{-\gamma(t_1+t_2)} = A_0 e^{-\gamma t_1} e^{-\gamma t_2}\) \(A(t_1+t_2) = A_0 \left(\frac{A_1}{A_0}\right) \left(\frac{A_2}{A_0}\right) = \frac{A_1 A_2}{A_0}\)
