The angular frequency of the damped oscillator is given by $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} - \frac{r^2}{4m^2}}$,where $k$ is the spring constant,$m$ is the mass of the oscillator,and $r$ is the damping constant. If the ratio $\frac{r^2}{mk}$ is $8\%$,the change in time period compared to the undamped oscillator is approximately as follows:

  • A
    increases by $1\%$
  • B
    increases by $8\%$
  • C
    decreases by $1\%$
  • D
    decreases by $8\%$
