The amplitudes of a damped harmonic oscillator after $2 \ s$ and $4 \ s$ are $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. If the initial amplitude of the oscillator is $A_0$,then

  • A
    $A_1 = \sqrt{A_0 A_2}$
  • B
    $A_2 = \sqrt{A_0 A_1}$
  • C
    $A_0 = \sqrt{A_1 A_2}$
  • D
    $A_1 = \frac{A_0 + A_2}{2}$
