Harmonic Oscillator
Price: Item discontinued, no longer for sale ....
The
Magneto-Mechanical Harmonic Oscillator (MMHO) experiment examines
the physics of the Simple Harmonic Oscillator at an introductory level,
with special emphasis on high-Q oscillators and the physics of clocks.
Since harmonic oscillators play such a central role in modern physics,
and high-Q mechanical clocks (in the form of quartz crystal
oscillators) are omnipresent in cell phones and other electronic
devices, the MMHO experiment introduces students to a fascinating and
vital area of physics and technology.
