Level 1 — Recognition
(Kya tum ka sahi roop choose karke plug in kar sakte ho?)
Exercise 1.1
Ek tuning fork har period mein apni energy kho deta hai. find karo.
Recall Solution
Kya diya hai: fractional energy loss per period . Kaun sa tool: energy definition — ye literally wo ratio hai jo hume diya gaya hai. Sanity check: chhoti loss ⇒ bada . Tuning fork sach mein kaafi der tak ring karta hai, isliye hundreds mein value believable hai. ✓
Exercise 1.2
Ek resonant circuit par peak karta hai jiska full-width-at-half-power bandwidth hai. find karo.
Recall Solution
Kaun sa tool: bandwidth form — hume ek peak frequency aur width diya gaya hai. Matlab: peak apni centre frequency se guna zyada narrow hai — ek sharp, selective resonance. ✓
Exercise 1.3
Ek oscillator ka natural frequency aur damping rate hai. find karo.
Recall Solution
Kaun sa tool: damping form — aur dono directly diye hain. Kyunki hai, system underdamped hai, isliye formula valid hai. ✓
Level 2 — Application
(Do steps: pehle aur banao, phir combine karo.)
Exercise 2.1
, , . , , aur find karo.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — natural frequency. Pehle kyun: ko "kitni tez swing karna chahta hai" wali number chahiye. Step 2 — damping rate. Kyun: normalized ODE define karta hai . Step 3 — combine karo. Underdamped (), isliye saare light-damping formulas apply hote hain. ✓
Exercise 2.2
Ex 2.1 ke oscillator ke liye, roughly kitne full oscillations ke baad amplitude apni starting value ka ho jaati hai?
Recall Solution
Kaun sa tool: ring-down count. Amplitude ka -decay hota hai oscillations ke baad. Ye kahan se aata hai (taaki magic na lage): envelope hai , jo par pahunchti hai time par. Is time mein phase advance hoti hai radians. Har oscillation mein radians se divide karo: . ✓
Exercise 2.3
Ek RLC circuit mein , , hai. Electrical analogue use karke, find karo.
Recall Solution
Kaun sa tool: RLC Circuits analogue. mass ki jagah play karta hai, stiffness ki, damping ki. Ek cleanly tuned circuit. ✓
Level 3 — Analysis
(Rearrange karo, backwards kaam karo, scaling ke baare mein reason karo.)
Exercise 3.1
Ek bell par oscillations tak audibly ring karta hai (amplitude start ka se upar). Uska aur energy-decay time constant estimate karo.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — ring-down relation ko invert karo. , isliye Step 2 — energy time constant. Energy decay hoti hai ke according (from Energy in Oscillations), isliye uski time hai . use karo jahan : Toh energy approximately mein tak drop ho jaati hai. ✓
Exercise 3.2
Do oscillators ka same hai. Oscillator A ka hai; oscillator B ka hai. B ka resonance peak A se kitne factor se wider hai?
Recall Solution
Kaun sa tool: bandwidth form , isliye . Equal ke saath, width inversely proportional hai se: B ka peak 5 guna wider hai — kaafi kam selective (dekho Resonance & Forced Oscillations). ✓
Exercise 3.3
Ek oscillator har period mein energy lose karta hai. Kya yahan light-damping formula trustworthy hai? dono tarike se compute karo aur comment karo.
Recall Solution
Energy definition: Light-damping assumption check karo. Exact per-period loss hai . Light damping isse approximate karta hai se. Yahan hai, jabki approximation hai — dono mein sirf ka fark hai. Comment: ke saath system firmly underdamped hai, isliye kuch percent tak reliable hai. Approximation tabhi break down hogi jab near ho. ✓
Level 4 — Synthesis
(Kai ideas ko chain karo; teeno faces ke beech convert karo.)
Exercise 4.1
Ek quartz crystal par oscillate karta hai jiska hai. (a) Uska bandwidth find karo. (b) Find karo ki amplitude tak girane mein kitna time (seconds mein) lagta hai. (c) Wo kitne oscillations hain?
Recall Solution
(a) Bandwidth. — extraordinarily narrow, isliye quartz itna precise time keep karta hai. (b) Amplitude time. aur : (c) Us time mein oscillations. — teees hazaar se zyada swings, se match karta hai. ✓
Exercise 4.2
Ek mass–spring system mein , hai. Tum measure karte ho ki uski amplitude exactly full oscillations ke baad half ho jaati hai. (damping constant) find karo.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — natural frequency. , isliye period . Step 2 — "10 cycles mein half" ko mein badlo. Envelope hai . Time ke baad ye half ho jaati hai: ke saath: , isliye Step 3 — recover karo. se cross-check: , aur oscillations (=) drop ke liye; oscillations ke baad halving (ek chhoti drop to ) consistent hai. ✓
Level 5 — Mastery
(Derive/prove karo; bina numbers ke faces connect karo, phir apply karo.)
Exercise 5.1
Energy definition se shuru karke prove karo ki energy ke tak girne mein oscillations ki sankhya hoti hai. Phir isse use karke wale car suspension ke liye wo number find karo — aur catch explain karo.
Recall Solution
Proof. Energy decay hoti hai (from Energy in Oscillations, aur ). Energy tak pahunchti hai jab , matlab . Us time mein oscillations ki sankhya (har oscillation ka period ): Car suspension par apply karo, : formula deta oscillations. Catch: ka matlab nahi hai, isliye system barely underdamped hai (near critical). " oscillations" koi real count nahi hai — achhe car suspensions deliberately near-critical hote hain taaki car ek bounce se kaafi kam time mein settle ho jaaye na ki oscillate kare. Formula ki spirit ("jaldi khatam ho jaata hai") sahi hai; uska literal count tabhi meaningful hai jab ho. ✓
Exercise 5.2
Dikhao ki light damping ke liye energy-loss form aur damping form agree karte hain, aur quantify karo error jab per-period loss ho.
Recall Solution
Exact per-period loss. Ek period mein, energy jaati hai , isliye Light-damping approximation. Chhote ke liye, . Tab par error. True exponent: . Approximation ne use kiya. Ratio — discrepancy. Isliye half-per-cycle loss par dono forms kaafi disagree karte hain: ye heavy damping hai ( abhi bhi hai lekin ka linearisation already poor hai). ✓
Exercise 5.3
Ek driven oscillator ki absorbed power Lorentzian follow karti hai Dikhao ki resonance ke paas full width at half maximum hai, isliye . Phir find karo , ke liye.
Recall Solution
Peak. tab sabse bada hota hai jab denominator sabse chhota ho, essentially par, jahan aur denominator hai. Isliye . Half-power condition. Denominator ko uske minimum ka do guna set karo: Resonance ke paas likho jahan chhota hai. Tab , aur . Condition ban jaati hai Do half-power points par hain, isliye full width hai , jo deta hai . Numbers: . ✓
