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 $r^2/mk$ is 8%, the change in the time period compared to the undamped oscillator is approximately as follows:

(1) increases by 1%

(2) increases by 8%

(3) decreases by 1%

(4) decreases by 8%
