A Wien bridge oscillator is a type of electronic oscillator that generates sine waves without having any input source. It can output a large range of frequencies. The bridge comprises four resistors and two capacitors. The circuit is based on a network originally developed by Max Wien in 1891. At that time, Wien did not have a means of developing electronic gain so a workable oscillator could not be realized. The modern circuit is derived from William Hewlett's 1939 Stanford University master's degree thesis. Hewlett, along with David Packard co-founded Hewlett-Packard. Their first product was the HP 200A, a precision sine wave oscillator based on the Wien bridge. The 200A is a classic instrument known for its low distortion. The frequency of oscillation is given by:

First of all, it's generally considered `normal'. Secondly, what you're seeing is the `last bits of oscillation' in the circuitry as the oscillators shut down after power is removed.

What is the difference between a master oscillator and a slave?

The master is a more precise frequency source which other less precise oscillators in a system can synchronize with. Modern terminology replaces Master/Slave with Primary/Secondary, same function. P/S relationships are most visible in today's radio clocks which sync with WWV time standard by radio signals when they can, but can maintain acceptable accuracy, usually during the day when there is no skywave activity. In the LORAN system there is a similar P/S relationship where all the secondaries sync their oscillators with Primary, and can run with acceptable accuracy when they lose Primary for short periods of time. Likewise GPS recievers have oscillators which sync with the satelites which sync with ground stations.
