Omega0=2*delta - Understanding Resonance Phenomenon

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the condition omega0=2*delta in relation to resonance phenomena in oscillators. It is clarified that omega0 represents the angular frequency at which resonance occurs, while w0 denotes the natural frequency of the system. The resonance frequency is defined by the equation wr^2 = w0^2 - 2delta^2. There is some initial uncertainty regarding the implications of the condition on resonance, with one participant suggesting that it may indicate a lack of resonance. Ultimately, the conversation aims to clarify the relationship between these frequencies in the context of oscillatory systems.

Hello

I found a problem that I'm not sure how to solve.

A maintained oscillator satisfies the condition omega0=2*delta.
Does anyone know what is the physical significance of this condition for the resonance phenomena?

My guess is that there is no resonance, but that seems a little weird.
Thanks

Hello John,
Isn't omegao just a symbol for the angular frequency for which resonance occurs in that particular problem?
 


Forget about my guess.
w0 is the natural frequency
The resonance frequency is wr^2 = w0^2 - 2delta^2

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
