उत्तर
- Graph A represents free vibration in a vacuum and Graph B represents free vibration in the medium.
- For free vibrations in a vacuum, there is no resisting force, thus the amplitude will remain the same with time. Whereas for free vibrations in a medium there is always a resistive force, thus the amplitude reduces with time due to this resistive force.
