Frequency Spread And Lifetime, A Mechanical Analogy

Dr James Strickland uses a large mechanical wave machine as a low-friction resonant system to demonstrate that changing the rigid barrier of the wave machine to a flexible barrier produces a larger frequency spread in the mechanical resonance and a proportionally shorter lifetime of the excited resonance.
