Fig. 23-11 is the resonance curve for this one. 'Phis resonance curve turns out to |
be very interesting. It is the resonance found in a certain reaction among strange |

particles, a reaction in which a K— and a proton interact. “The resonance 1s |
detected by seeing how many of some kinds of particles come out, and depending |
on what and how many come out, one gets diferent curves, but of the same |
shape and with the peak at the same energy. We thus determine that there is a |
resonance at a certain energy for the K— meson. That presumably means that |
there is some kind oŸ a state, or condition, corresponding to this resonance, which |
can be attained by putting together a K— and a proton. This is a new particle, |
or resonance. Today we do not know whether to call a bump like this a “particle” |
or simply a resonance. When there is a very shørp resonance, it corresponds to a |
very đefinaiie energu, just as though there were a particle of that energy present |
in nature. When the resonance gets wider, then we do not know whether to |
say there is a particle which does not last very long, or simply a resonance in |
the reaction probability. In the second chapter, this point is made about the |
particles, but when the second chapter was written this resonance was not known, |
so our chart should now have still another partiele in itl |

24-1 The energy of an oscillator |
Although this chapter is entitled “transients,” certain parts of i% are, in a |
way, part of the last chapter on forced oscillation. One of the features of a forced |
oscillation which we have not yet discussed is the energy in the oscillation. Let |
us now consider that energy. |
In a mechanical oscillator, how much kinetic energy is there? lt is proportional |
to the square of the velocity. NÑow we come to an important point. Consider an |
arbitrary quantity A, which may be the velocity or something else that we want |
to discuss. When we write A = Âc 1t, a complex number, the true and honest |
A, in the physical world, is only the real part; therefore if, for some reason, we |
want to use the sguøre of A, i% is not right to square the complex number and |
then take the real part, because the real part of the square of a complex number |
1s not just the square of the real part, but also involves the Z#maginarw part. So |
when we wish to fñnd the energy we have to get away from the complex notation |
for a while to see what the inner workings are. |
Now the true physical 4 is the real part of Agef«++^) that is, A = Ao cos (£+ |
A), where Â, the complex number, is written as Aoe?^. Now the square of this |
real physical quantity is 4? = 4ä cos” („#+ A). The square of the quantity, then, |
goes up and down from a maximum to zero, like the square of the cosine. 'Phe |
square of the cosine has a maximum of 1 and a minimum of 0, and is average |
value is 1/2. |
In many circumstances we are not interested in the energy at any specifc |
moment during the oscillation; for a large number of applications we merely |
want the average of 42, the mmean of the square of A over a period of time large |
compared with the period of oscillation. In those circumstances, the average |
of the cosine squared may be used, so we have the following theorem: if A is |
represented by a complex number, then the mean of .4” is equal to 3.43. NÑow 4ã |
--- Trang 426 --- |
1s the square of the magnitude of the complex Â. (This can be written in many |
ways—some people like to write |A|?; others write, 44”, 4 times its complex |
conjugate.) We shall use this theorem several tỉmes. |
Now let us consider the energy in a forced oscillator. The equation for the |
forced oscillator is |
m d”z/dtÊ + m dz/dt + mua = F1). (24.1) |
In our problem, of course, #'(£) is a cosine function of ¿. NÑow let us analyze the |
situation: how much work is done by the outside force †'? "The work done by the |
force per second, ¡.e., the power, is the force times the velocity. (W© know that |
the diferemtial work in a tỉme đý is f'dz+, and the power is F'dz+/di.) Thus |

But the ñrst two terms on the right can also be written as d/df[Sm(dz/dt)? + |
smœf+2], as is immediately verifled by differentiating. That is to say, the term in |
brackets is a pure derivative oŸ ©wo terms that are easy to understand——one is the |
kinetic energy of motion, and the other is the potential energy oŸ the spring. Let |
us call this quantity the sứored energu, that is, the energy stored in the oscillation. |
uppose that we want the average power over many cycles when the oscillator is |
beiïng forced and has been running for a long time. In the long run, the stored |
energy does not change——its derivative gives zero average efect. In other words, |
1 we average the power in the long run, đÌÏ the energu ulttmatelU ends up ín the |
resistiue term +m(dz/df)?. There is some energy stored in the oscillation, but |
that does not change with time, if we average over many cycles. Therefore the |
mean power (P) is |
(P) = (wém(dz/d£)). (24.3) |
Using our method of writing complex numbers, and our theorem that (42) = |
34ã, we may find this mean power. Thus if z = êc”“”, then dœ/dt = iuêâc”*!, |
'Therefore, in these circumstances, the average power could be written as |
(?)= 3m đg. (24.4) |
In the notation for electrical circuits, đø/đ# is replaced by the current ï (T is |
dq/dt, where q corresponds to +), and zw⁄ corresponds to the resistance Ÿ. Thus |
--- Trang 427 --- |
the rate of the energy loss—the power used up by the forcing function——is the |
resistance in the circuit times the average square of the current: |
(P) = RỊ?) = R- 313. (24.5) |
This energy, of course, goes into heating the resistor; i% is sometimes called the |
heating loss or the Joule heating. |
Another interesting feature to discuss is how much energy is sfored. 'That is |
not the same as the power, because although power was at first used to store up |
some energy, after that the system keeps on absorbing power, insofar as there |
are any heating (resistive) losses. At any moment there is a certain amount of |
sbored energy, so we would like to calculate the mean stored energy (2) also. We |
have already calculated what the average of (dz/đ#)2 is, so we find |
(E) = ‡m((de/4)®) + ÿmeŠ(v?) 016) |
= 3m(0Ÿ + 08) šzg. |
Now, when an oscillator is very efficient, and IÝ œ is near œọ, so that |Ê{ is large, |
the stored energy is very high—we can get a large stored energy from a relatively |
smaill force. 'Phe force does a great deal of work in getting the oscillation goiïng, |
but then to keep it steady, all it has to do is to fight the friction. The oscillator |
can have a great deal of energy if the friction is very low, and even though it is |
oscillating strongly, not much energy is being lost. The eficiency of an oscillator |
