  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. Terraria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraria

    Terraria (/ t ə ˈ r ɛər i ə / ⓘ tə-RAIR-ee-ə [1]) is a 2011 action-adventure sandbox game developed by Re-Logic. The game was first released for Windows and has since been ported to other PC and console platforms.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its 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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Acoustic resonance technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance_technology

    Acoustic resonance technology (ART) is an acoustic inspection technology developed by Det Norske Veritas over the past 20 years. ART exploits the phenomenon of half-wave resonance, whereby a suitably excited resonant target (such as a pipeline wall) exhibits longitudinal resonances at certain frequencies characteristic of the target's thickness.

  9. Antiresonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiresonance

    The resonance frequencies of the system depend on the properties of all components and their couplings, and are independent of which is driven. The antiresonances, on the other hand, are dependent upon everything except the component being driven, therefore providing information about how it affects the total system.
