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.
