INVENTORY OF ACHIEVEMENT

PARADIGM 1: HARMONIC OSCILLATIONS

Philip J. Siemens

As evidence of advanced accomplishment of Paradigm 1, an A student will

1. Formulate hypotheses

2. Deduce consequences of an hypothesis

3. Clearly describe apparatus and procedure used for measurements

4. Confront expectations with observations for the period of the pendulum

5. Confront expectations with observations for the waveform of the pendulum

6. Confront expectations from circuit theory with observations of the impulse response of an LRC circuit

7. Confront expectations from circuit theory with observations of the harmonic response of an LRC circuit

8. Apply Fourier computations to compare the harmonic and impulse response of an LRC circuit

9. Analyse and explain the comparison of the harmonic and impulse response of an LRC circuit
