Question
What is meant by maintained oscillation? Give an example.
Solution
While playing in swing, the oscillations will stop after a few cycles, this is due to damping. To avoid damping we have to supply a push to sustain oscillations. By supplying energy from an external source, the amplitude of the oscillation can be made constant. Such vibrations are known as maintained vibrations.
Example: The vibration of a tuning fork getting energy from a battery or from an external power supply.
