Answer:

Correct Answer: 53. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) In harmonic oscillator, amplitude falls exponentially.

After 100 oscillations amplitude falls to $\frac{1}{3}$ times.

$\therefore$ After next 100 oscillations i.e., after 200 oscillations amplitude falls to $(\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{1}{9}$ times.
