About this Simulation

This resonance simulator models the behaviour of oscillating systems subjected to driving forces at varying frequencies. Learners can adjust parameters, observe amplitude changes, and visualise how systems dramatically respond when driving frequency matches natural frequency, demonstrating the physics of resonance in real-world applications.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between driving frequency and system response amplitude | Identify resonant frequencies and explain why maximum amplitude occurs at resonance | Apply resonance concepts to explain phenomena in mechanical and acoustic systems
