- Section 5.1: A student asked me what it would look like if you had damped oscillation plus an external force which is sinusoidal but with a slightly different frequency. As we've seen, damped oscillation looks like this. Undamped oscillation plus an external sinusoidal force can give a beat frequency. Damped oscillation with beats can look something like this (depends on the constants), but as you can see there is an initial "beat" state, which decays away until only the steady state solution (from the external force) is left.
