Explanation by: Admin

Damping is the phenomenon where the amplitude of oscillation of a system (like a pendulum) gradually decreases over time due to energy loss.

  • This energy loss can be due to friction, air resistance, or internal resistance in the material.
  • As a result, the system eventually comes to rest unless an external force maintains the motion.
