A mechanical oscillator is set into motion by a periodic driving force whose frequency is steadily increased from a low value.
What is correct for this system?
Forced vibrations occur only at particular frequencies.
The oscillator is subject to damping only at the resonant frequency.
When resonance occurs the damping force is a minimum.
The oscillator will not continue to resonate when the periodic driving force is removed.

A periodic force is applied to a lightly-damped object causing the object to oscillate.
The graph shows how the amplitude A of the oscillations varies with the frequency f of the periodic force.
Which one of the following statements best describes how the shape of the curve would differ if the damping had been greater?
the curve would be lower at all frequencies
the curve would be higher at all frequencies
the curve would be unchanged except at frequencies above the resonant frequency where it would be lowe
the curve would be unchanged except at frequencies above the resonant frequency where it would be higher
