4 5 A damped mass-spring system is driven into oscillation. The graph shows the amplitude of oscillation as the driving frequency is varied. Amplitude of oscillation Driving frequency The damping is decreased. Which row of the table describes what happens to the maximum amplitude of oscillation and the driving frequency at which this occurs? Maximum amplitude Frequency at which maximum amplitude occurs A decreases decreases B decreases increases C increases decreases D increases increases (Total for Question 5 = 1 mark)
