Q1. Why don't the peaks of resonance curves equal one at the resonant frequency?

Q2. Why isn't the resonant curve symmetrical about the resonant frequency?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Since nothing is said about the resonance system, I am answering the question in a general sense of resonance.

If the exact case (for example LCR resonance) was provided, this could be explained with equations as well.

1) The peak of the resonance curve depends on whether the input frequency matches the natural frequency.

However, it also depends on the quality factor Q of the resonator. This factor is the quantity that determines the amount of energy lost during a cycle of the wave.

2) The resonant curve is symmetric around the resonant frequency. But this symmetry is visible only in the logarithmic scale.

Once we draw the graph on a logarithmic scale, where the values on X and Y axis are replaced by their logs, we will get a symmetric graph.

Consider a monopolist facing two types of consumers. Normalise the total population to 1. Type one consumers are in proportion 1/2, and type two are in proportion 1/2. The monopolist has marginal cost of production c = 1/2. The two types have demand curves q₁ =1-p q₂ =1-(p/2). If the monopolist can identify the two types and can charge different two-part tariffs to different types: {A1, p1} and {A2, p2}. [All type one consumers are identical and have the q1...

Q1 - The number of adults (people greater than or equal to 15 years of age) that are considered officially unemployed (by government-calculated statistics) is typically different from (and usually less than) the number of adults actually without a job. This situation may arise because: i) The labor force (as calculated by government statistics) is inclusive only of adults who are either employed or actively seeking employment. ii) Full-time students, homemakers, and retirees are not considered part of the labor...

Let X be a normal random variable with ?=−10 and ?=2. Let Z be a standard normal random variable. Draw density plots for both random variables on the same graph. You will want an x-axis that goes from around -20 to around 5. Your y-axis will start at zero and will need go high enough to cover the highest density. Recall that the density of a normal random variable at the point ? with mean ? and standard deviation ?...
