    1. The graph shows how the velocity of an object varies with time during one complete period of simple harmonic motion. The total energy also varies periodically with time in a sinusoidal pattern. 2. For resonance to occur in a lightly damped system driven by a sinusoidally varying force, the frequency of the driving force must be equal to the natural frequency of oscillations of the system. 3. A wavelength in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 4000 angstroms and 7000 angstroms.
