simple harmonic oscillator in a sentence
Examples
- :Well, it didn't actually say it was a simple harmonic oscillator-so I suppose an initial accelleration at the start of each cycle is possible.
- A simple harmonic oscillator'vibration'is only an oversimplified dynamic representation of the longitudinal vibrations of the DNA intertwined helices which were found to be dynamic simulations of DNA.
- The dipole oscillator consists of a simple harmonic oscillator, which is thought of as a charged particle on a spring, perturbed by an external force, like an external charge.
- One way the curve can be an isochrone is if the Lagrangian is that of a simple harmonic oscillator : the height of the curve must be proportional to the arclength squared.
- At sufficiently low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the free electrons in the conduction band of a metal, semimetal, or narrow band gap semiconductor will behave like simple harmonic oscillators.
- The constant term " V " ( " x " 0 ) is arbitrary and thus may be dropped, and a coordinate transformation allows the form of the simple harmonic oscillator to be retrieved:
- Vibronic transitions are drawn in Figure 2 as narrow, equally spaced parabolic potential of simple harmonic oscillators, in more realistic potentials, such as those shown in Figure 1, energy spacing decreases with increasing vibrational energy.
- Thus, given an arbitrary potential energy function V ( x ) with a non-vanishing second derivative, one can use the solution to the simple harmonic oscillator to provide an approximate solution for small perturbations around the equilibrium point.
- The van der Waals binding energy can be analyzed by another simple physical picture : modeling the motion of an electron around its nucleus by a three-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator with a potential energy " V a ":
- However, now take the case of a simple harmonic oscillator, where the boundary points are at a separation of a multiple of the period from each other, and the initial and final positions are the same at the boundary points.
