Formulas
1. Core Concepts
Natural frequency = definite frequency of oscillation of a body when displaced from equilibrium and left free
A force whose magnitude and direction change periodically with time is called a periodic force
2. Damped Oscillations
Amplitude decreases with time due to energy dissipation
Energy dissipated = energy converted into heat
3. Forced Oscillations
Forced oscillations occur when the body oscillates with the frequency of the external force
Amplitude of forced oscillations is usually small when driving frequency differs from natural frequency
4. Melde's Experiment
One complete cycle of alternating current produces one vibration of the rod
Stationary waves are produced by superposition of direct and reflected waves
