Question

For both resonance curves and Fourier spectra, amplitude is plotted vs frequency, but these two types of plots are not the same. Describe how they are different.

Answer 1

Answer:

he peaks are the natural frequencies that coincide with the excitation frequencies and in the second case they are the natural frequencies that make up the wave.

Explanation:

In a resonance experiment, the amplitude of the system is plotted as a function of the frequency, finding maximums for the values ​​where some natural frequency of the system coincides with the excitation frequency.

In a Fourier transform spectrum, the amplitude of the frequencies present is the signal, whereby each peak corresponds to a natural frequency of the system.

From this explanation we can see that in the first case the peaks are the natural frequencies that coincide with the excitation frequencies and in the second case they are the natural frequencies that make up the wave.
