Difference between Free oscillation and Damped oscillation.

Answer»

Free oscillation 

(i) The oscillation of a particle with fundamental frequency under the influence of restoring force are defined as free oscillations 

(ii) The amplitude, frequency and energy of oscillation remains constant 

(iii) Frequency of free oscillation is called natural frequency. 

Damped oscillation : 

(i) The oscillation of a body whose amplitude goes on decreasing with time are defined as damped oscillation. 

(ii) Amplitude of oscillation decreases exponentially due to damping forces like frictional force, viscous force, hystersis etc.
