AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the frequency at which an object vibrates with maximum amplitude, often referred to as resonant frequency. When a particle is set into vibration, it oscillates at its natural frequency, determined by its physical properties. As the applied frequency nears this resonant frequency, the amplitude increases significantly. This phenomenon is crucial in understanding vibration behavior in various systems. The conversation confirms that resonant frequency is indeed the term for maximum amplitude vibration.

Does anybody know the name given to the frequency at which an object vibrates with maxium amplitude??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Are you thinking of resonant frequency?
 
No I am thinking of when a particle is set into vibration, what the frequency is called when it has a maximum amplitude
 
Flo123, I think Doc Al is correct.

When a particle is set into vibration, it will oscillate at its own natural (resonant) frequency which is determined by its physical characteristics. As the frequency of the driving force (or applied frequency) approaches the resonant frequency of the resonator, the amplitude of the resonator approaches a maximum.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
