Forced vibrations and resonance (AQA A-Level Physics): Flashcards

Oscillations at natural frequency without continuous external force

Inherent rate of oscillation of a system

Oscillations caused by external driving force

Frequency of the external driving force

Driving frequency matches natural frequency

Select desired broadcast signals

Violent oscillations cause structural damage

Reduction of energy in oscillating system

$\zeta = 1$, oscillations cease quickly without overshoot

Make system less sensitive to driving frequencies
