  2. Seashell resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seashell_resonance

    The ocean-like quality of seashell resonance is due in part to the similarity between airflow and ocean movement sounds. The association of seashells with the ocean likely plays a further role. Resonators attenuate or emphasize some ambient noise frequencies in the environment, including airflow within the resonator and sound originating from ...

  3. Miles-Phillips mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles-Phillips_mechanism

    At the same time, but independently from Miles, Owen M. Phillips [10] (1957) developed his theory for the generation of waves based on the resonance between a fluctuating pressure field and surface waves. The main idea behind Phillips' theory is that this resonance mechanism causes the waves to grow when the length of the waves matches the ...

  4. Marine biogenic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogenic_calcification

    Marine biogenic calcification is the production of calcium carbonate by organisms in the global ocean.. Marine biogenic calcification is the biologically mediated process by which marine organisms produce and deposit calcium carbonate minerals to form skeletal structures or hard tissues.

  5. Tidal resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_resonance

    Away from resonance this can reduce tidal energy moving onto the shelf. However near a resonant frequency the phase relationship, between the waves on the shelf and in the deep ocean, can have the effect of drawing energy onto the shelf. The increased speed of long waves in the deep ocean means that the tidal wavelength there is of order 10,000 km.

  6. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    This is an example of an equation that holds off shell, since it is true for any fields configuration regardless of whether it respects the equations of motion (in this case, the Euler–Lagrange equation given above). However, we can derive an on shell equation by simply substituting the Euler–Lagrange equation:

  7. Resonant interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_interaction

    The non-linearity providing the coupling is due to general relativity; accretion disks in Newtonian gravity, e.g. Saturn's rings do not have this particular kind of resonant interaction (they do demonstrate many other kinds of resonances, however). During spacecraft atmospheric entry, the high speed of the spacecraft heats air to a red-hot ...

  8. Resonance escape probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_escape_probability

    The probability of resonance absorption is called the resonance factor, and the sum of the two factors is + =. [1] Generally, the higher the neutron energy, the lower the probability of absorption, but for some energies, called resonance energies, the resonance factor is very high. These energies depend on the properties of heavy nuclei.

  9. Resonant trans-Neptunian object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_trans-Neptunian...

    In astronomy, a resonant trans-Neptunian object is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) in mean-motion orbital resonance with Neptune.The orbital periods of the resonant objects are in a simple integer relations with the period of Neptune, e.g. 1:2, 2:3, etc. Resonant TNOs can be either part of the main Kuiper belt population, or the more distant scattered disc population.
