You need to determine whether your "predictions" of decay make sense in
light of your measurements. Use the table below.

Then, answer these
questions.
-
If you want the output
voltage to stay within 5% of the peak voltage for all of the frequencies
tested (30, 60, 100, 200,300) what value should you choose for the resistor,
R?
-
Which frequency is the
most critical in keeping doing the calculation for the resistance?
-
f = _______Hz.
-
Hint: It will be
one of the extreme frequencies (highest or lowest).
