Experiment on Impulsive Excitation, Resonance, and Fourier Analysis of a Harmonic Oscillator.

Macomber, Hilliard K.

American Journal of Physics, v49 n1 p31-33 Jan 1981

Describes an electric circuit permitting easy observation and measurement of the response of a damped harmonic oscillator to impulsive excitation. The impulse analysis is carried out and related to experimental observations. The phenomenon of resonance is then interpreted and demonstrated, and through it, contact is made with Fourier analysis.
