Just one note: A decaying "sinusiodal" wave actually must consist
of a range of frequencies. If you perform a fouier transform (read
take a spectrum) of the decaying sinusoid it will consist of a finite
width peak. The width and height of the peak are related to those
which are determined by the Q of the coil.
