One source, two reading layouts. Present either example, explore its chart, and return with your values intact.
Article
A continuous argument in a comfortable reading column.

A signal loses energy
Displace an oscillator and release it. The motion continues, but each peak is smaller than the last. The curve below is a synthetic analytic trajectory: it illustrates damping without claiming an experimental measurement.
The period describes how often the motion repeats. The envelope describes how quickly it fades. Keep those two observations separate.
