  2. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The damping ratio is a system parameter, denoted by ζ ("zeta"), that can vary from undamped (ζ = 0), underdamped (ζ < 1) through critically damped (ζ = 1) to overdamped (ζ > 1). The behaviour of oscillating systems is often of interest in a diverse range of disciplines that include control engineering , chemical engineering , mechanical ...

  3. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    The angular frequency of the underdamped harmonic oscillator is given by =, the exponential decay of the underdamped harmonic oscillator is given by =. The Q factor of a damped oscillator is defined as Q = 2 π × energy stored energy lost per cycle . {\displaystyle Q=2\pi \times {\frac {\text{energy stored}}{\text{energy lost per cycle}}}.}

  4. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    This is called the damped resonance frequency or the damped natural frequency. It is the frequency the circuit will naturally oscillate at if not driven by an external source. The resonance frequency, ω 0 , which is the frequency at which the circuit will resonate when driven by an external oscillation, may often be referred to as the undamped ...

  5. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  7. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    A sphere rotating around an axis. Points farther from the axis move faster, satisfying ω = v / r.. In physics, angular frequency (symbol ω), also called angular speed and angular rate, is a scalar measure of the angle rate (the angle per unit time) or the temporal rate of change of the phase argument of a sinusoidal waveform or sine function (for example, in oscillations and waves).

  8. Quantum harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

    The Hamiltonian of the particle is: ^ = ^ + ^ = ^ + ^, where m is the particle's mass, k is the force constant, = / is the angular frequency of the oscillator, ^ is the position operator (given by x in the coordinate basis), and ^ is the momentum operator (given by ^ = / in the coordinate basis).
