Question

In forced oscillation, displacement amplitude is maximum at angular frequency ω₁ while average power is maximum at angular frequency ω₂. Then:

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Maximum average power occurs at ω₂=ω₀, whereas maximum displacement amplitude occurs at ω₁=√(ω₀²−2β²). Therefore ω₁<ω₂. Hence option D.
