  2. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    This is a classic demonstration of resonance. A glass has a natural resonance, a frequency at which the glass will vibrate easily. Therefore the glass needs to be moved by the sound wave at that frequency. If the force from the sound wave making the glass vibrate is big enough, the size of the vibration will become so large that the glass ...

  3. Kundt's tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundt's_tube

    The sound generator is turned on and the piston is adjusted until the sound from the tube suddenly gets much louder. This indicates that the tube is at resonance. This means the length of the round-trip path of the sound waves, from one end of the tube to the other and back again, is a multiple of the wavelength λ of the sound waves. Therefore ...

  4. Vocal resonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_resonation

    A resonator may be defined as a secondary vibrator which is set into motion by the main vibrator and which adds its own characteristics to the generated sound waves. [3] There are two kinds of resonance: sympathetic resonance (or free resonance) and forced resonance (or conductive resonance) [4] The essential difference between both types is ...

  5. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Increase of amplitude as damping decreases and frequency approaches resonant frequency of a driven damped simple harmonic oscillator. [1] [2]Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is subjected to an external force or vibration that matches its resonant frequency, defined as the frequency that generates the maximum amplitude response in the system.

  6. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    Vibration, standing waves in a string. The fundamental and the first 5 overtones in the harmonic series. A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch. If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone.

  7. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    Diagram of beat frequency. In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies.

  8. Acoustic paramagnetic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Acoustic_paramagnetic_resonance

    In acoustics, acoustic paramagnetic resonance (APR) is a phenomenon of resonant absorption of sound by a system of magnetic particles placed in an external magnetic field.It occurs when the energy of the sound wave quantum becomes equal to the splitting of the energy levels of the particles, the splitting being induced by the magnetic field.

  9. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...
