In a forced oscillation, what happens when the driving frequency matches the natural frequency of the system?
Correct Answer: Resonance occurs, leading to maximum amplitude.
- Step 1: Understand what forced oscillation means. It is when a system is made to vibrate by an external force.
- Step 2: Know what natural frequency is. It is the frequency at which a system naturally wants to vibrate.
- Step 3: Learn about driving frequency. This is the frequency of the external force applied to the system.
- Step 4: Recognize that when the driving frequency matches the natural frequency, it creates a special condition called resonance.
- Step 5: Understand that resonance causes the system to vibrate with a much larger amplitude than at other frequencies.
- Step 6: Conclude that when resonance occurs, the system can reach its maximum possible movement or amplitude.
