As was the case for Equation 12-34, the equation for damped oscillations without a driving force that we presented in Section 12-7, solving Equation 12-41 is beyond our scope. But here’s what the solutions are like: When the driving force is first applied, the motion is a complicated combination of an oscillation at the angular frequency \(\omega_{\mathrm{damped}}\) given by Equation 12-39 and an oscillation at the driving angular frequency \(\omega\). The oscillation at \(\omega_{\mathrm{damped}}\) quickly dies away (it’s a damped oscillation), and the system is left oscillating at the driving angular frequency \(\omega\) The amplitude of these oscillations is
