In damped oscillations,the damping force is directly proportional to the speed of the oscillator. If the amplitude becomes half of its initial value $A_0$ in $1 \, s$,then after $2 \, s$,the amplitude will be:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4} A_0$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} A_0$
  • C
    $A_0$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3} A_0}{2}$
