Driven Oscillations and Resonance

Mark
< Prev
Next >

How does the phenomenon of resonance relate an oscillating system’s natural frequency to the frequency of an external driving force?

A

The phenomenon shows that a system’s natural frequency changes to match any applied external force frequency.

B

Resonance occurs when the driving frequency matches the system’s natural frequency, resulting in maximum amplitude of oscillation.

C

Resonance proves that oscillating systems are most stable when driven at frequencies far from their natural frequency.

D

Resonance demonstrates that external forces always dampen a system’s oscillations, regardless of their frequency.
