Damped and Driven Oscillations: Resonance
Students will investigate damped and driven oscillations, including the phenomenon of resonance.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between damped and undamped oscillations and their causes.
- Analyze how external driving forces can lead to resonance in an oscillating system.
- Evaluate the implications of resonance in engineering design, both beneficial and detrimental.
