Damped oscillation

Assertion (A): In damped oscillation both amplitude and frequency change with time.
Reason (R): Both amplitude and frequency vary exponentially.
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

In a damped oscillation, the amplitude decreases exponentially with time, but the frequency of oscillation (for underdamped case) remains constant. Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
