$A$ simple pendulum is hanging from a peg inserted in a vertical wall. Its bob is stretched in a horizontal position from the wall and is left free to move. The bob hits the wall,and the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$. After how many collisions will the amplitude of vibration become less than $60^\circ$?

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$
