Question:medium

The amplitude of a damped harmonic oscillator becomes \[ \frac{1}{2\sqrt2} \] times its initial amplitude in a time of \(6\) s. Additional time taken for the amplitude to become \[ \frac{1}{4\sqrt2} \] times its initial amplitude is

Show Hint

In damped oscillations, \[ \boxed{A=A_0e^{-kt}.} \] Take the ratio of amplitudes at different times to eliminate the initial amplitude and determine the required time interval.
