  2. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Acoustic resonance is an important consideration for instrument builders, as most acoustic instruments use resonators, such as the strings and body of a violin, the length of tube in a flute, and the shape of, and tension on, a drum membrane. Like mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance can result in catastrophic failure of the object at ...

  3. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  4. Electrical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resonance

    Electrical resonance occurs in an electric circuit at a particular resonant frequency when the impedances or admittances of circuit elements cancel each other. In some circuits, this happens when the impedance between the input and output of the circuit is almost zero and the transfer function is close to one.

  5. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    Acoustic resonance is an important consideration for instrument builders, as most acoustic instruments use resonators, such as the strings and body of a violin, the length of tube in a flute, and the shape of a drum membrane. Acoustic resonance is also important for hearing.

  6. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  7. Mechanical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance

    Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a mechanical system to respond at greater amplitude when the frequency of its oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of vibration (its resonance frequency or resonant frequency) closer than it does other frequencies. It may cause violent swaying motions and potentially catastrophic failure in ...

  8. Resonance (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(particle_physics)

    In particle physics, a resonance is the peak located around a certain energy found in differential cross sections of scattering experiments. These peaks are associated with subatomic particles , which include a variety of bosons , quarks and hadrons (such as nucleons , delta baryons or upsilon mesons ) and their excitations .

  9. Orbital resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance

    One theory for why the resonance came to an end is that there was another moon around Saturn whose orbit destabilized about 100 million years ago, perturbing Saturn. [21] [22] The perihelion secular resonance between asteroids and Saturn (ν 6 = g − g 6) helps shape the asteroid belt (the subscript "6" identifies Saturn as the sixth planet ...
