In summary, the conversation is about a homework assignment that involves finding the time, velocity, and frequency for a non-simple harmonic motion system. The student is unsure about how to approach the problem and is seeking guidance for parts b, c, and d. The student also mentions that the last two parts are proving to be difficult.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


If it is SHE, I can use some equation to find T. But it seems it is not. Because the net force is invesely proportional to the square of distance, which is not SHM.

So what can I do?

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


For part b. Can it do this?
Because the speed increased by sqrt2, so f also increased by this factor.

But I don't know if this assertion is correct.

For part c, in order to find f, we need to know the time taken to finish 1 round.
To know the time, I need the velocity. But it seems velocity is varying, so how can I find the time?

For part d, the max speed of electron should be light speed. again, there will be various speed (especially the reverse of direction) how can I know the time?

Also, can you guide me to the last 2 part?
I found it is too difficult for me.

FAQ: Electron Oscillator Homework: The Attempt at a Solution

What is an electron oscillator?

An electron oscillator is a system in which electrons oscillate or vibrate at a specific frequency. It is typically made up of a set of electrodes and a source of energy, such as a battery. In some cases, it can also refer to a specific type of electronic circuit or device that produces oscillating signals.

How does an electron oscillator work?

An electron oscillator works by using the energy from a power source to create an alternating electric field. This field causes the electrons in the circuit to oscillate back and forth, creating a continuous flow of energy. The frequency of this oscillation is determined by the properties of the circuit and the power source.

What is the significance of electron oscillators in science?

Electron oscillators have many important applications in science, including in electronic devices such as radios and computers. They are also used in research to study the behavior of electrons and to create precise oscillating signals for experiments. Additionally, electron oscillators are important in understanding quantum mechanics and the behavior of particles at the atomic level.

What factors affect the frequency of an electron oscillator?

The frequency of an electron oscillator is affected by several factors, including the properties of the circuit, such as the capacitance and inductance, and the power source. The type of material used in the circuit and the temperature can also have an impact on the frequency. Additionally, any external forces or influences, such as electromagnetic interference, can affect the frequency of an electron oscillator.

How is an electron oscillator different from other types of oscillators?

An electron oscillator is specifically designed to use the oscillation of electrons to generate a signal or energy, while other types of oscillators may use different mechanisms, such as mechanical or chemical processes. Additionally, electron oscillators are typically used in electronic circuits, while other types of oscillators may have different applications, such as in clocks or musical instruments.
