resonance width hard

Question

Sharpness of resonance increases when damping:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

The resonance curve (amplitude vs frequency) describes how 'sharp' the resonance is.
- **Low Damping**: The curve is narrow and tall. This means the system responder strongly only to a very narrow range of frequencies. This is called a high Quality ($Q$) factor.
- **High Damping**: The curve is broad and flat. The system responds to a wider range of frequencies but with lower peak amplitude.
Therefore, decreasing damping makes the resonance sharper.
