About this Simulation

This spring-mass resonance simulation allows learners to investigate how driving frequency affects oscillation amplitude and energy transfer. By adjusting mass, spring constant, and driving frequency, students observe resonance phenomena, standing wave patterns, and the relationship between natural and driven frequencies in real time.

Learning objectives: Understand how resonance occurs when driving frequency matches natural frequency | Explore the relationship between amplitude, frequency, and damping in oscillatory systems | Visualize energy transfer and phase relationships in driven harmonic motion
