Dynamics Underlying the Gaussian Distribution of the Classical Harmonic Oscillator in Zero-Point Radiation

Figure 6

A schematic illustration of the oscillation amplitude as a sum of different frequency components in the complex plane. At a particular time , an oscillation amplitude (blue solid arrow) is formed by a group of frequency components (blue dashed arrow), which rotate in the complex plane at different rates. After a time , the angles of the frequency components (red dashed arrow) change only a little. Therefore, the oscillation amplitude (red solid arrow) does not change much within the coherence time.
