Homework Statement
I have solved for the eigenfrequencies of a system composed of two particles of masses m connected to each other by a spring of constant 2k and where one particle is connected to a wall by a spring of constant 4k and the other particle is connected to a second wall by a spring with constant k. The particles are restricted to move along the line containing all three springs.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I have obtained the eigenfrequencies already but they came out to be imaginary. I am wondering what it means for a frequency to be non real, or if it is even possible to have such an imaginary frequency.
