Question
What do you understand by damped oscillation?

Answer

Those oscillation of a body which occur in the presence of resistive force, such as fluid viscosity, friction, air friction etc. the amplitude of the oscillation keeps decreasing continuously. These oscillations are called damped oscillation.

Two monoatomic ideal gases 1 and 2 of molecular masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively are enclosed in separate containers kept at the same temperature. What is the ratio of the speed of sound in gas 1 to that in gas 2 ?
${ }^{57} \mathrm{Co}$ decays to ${ }^{57} \mathrm{Fe}$ by $\beta^{+}-$emission.- emission. The resulting ${ }^{57} \mathrm{Fe}$ is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting $\gamma$ - rays. The half-life of $\beta^{+}-$ decay is 270 days and that of the $\gamma-$ emissions is $10^{-8} \mathrm{~s}$. A sample of ${ }^{57}$ Co gives $5.0 \times 10^9$ gamma rays per second. How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to $2.5 \times 10^9$ per second?
