"Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is subjected to an external force or vibration that matches its natural frequency."
The tendency for a system to oscillate with maximum amplitude at certain frequencies.
Simple harmonic motion: Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object oscillates back and forth around an equilibrium position with a constant frequency.
Damped harmonic motion: Damped harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which the amplitude of the oscillation decreases with time due to the presence of a damping force or friction.
Forced harmonic motion: Forced harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an externally applied periodic force causes an object to oscillate with a frequency that is different from its natural frequency.
Resonant frequency: Resonant frequency is the frequency at which an object vibrates with maximum amplitude when it is subjected to an external periodic force.
Resonance curve: The resonance curve is a graph that shows the variation of amplitude with frequency for a vibrating object subjected to varying external forces.
Resonant circuit: A resonant circuit is an electrical circuit that consists of an inductor and a capacitor and exhibits resonance when subjected to an alternating current.
LCR circuit: An LCR circuit is an electrical circuit that consists of an inductor, capacitor, and resistor and exhibits resonance when subjected to an alternating current.
Quality factor: The quality factor is a measure of the sharpness and width of the resonance curve and is defined as the ratio of the resonant frequency to the width of the resonance curve.
Acoustic resonance: Acoustic resonance is the phenomenon in which an object or space vibrates at its natural frequency in response to an external sound wave.
Electrical resonance: Electrical resonance is the phenomenon in which an electrical circuit vibrates at its natural frequency in response to an alternating current.
Mechanical resonance: Mechanical resonance is the phenomenon in which an object or structure vibrates at its natural frequency in response to an external force.
Resonance in musical instruments: Resonance plays a significant role in the production of sound in musical instruments, where the sound waves produced by the instrument interact with its resonant cavity.
Wave interference: Wave interference is the phenomenon in which two or more waves meet at a point and combine to form a resultant wave.
Standing waves: Standing waves are waves that are confined between two fixed boundaries and have nodes and antinodes at specific points.
Fourier series: Fourier series is a mathematical tool used to represent a periodic function as a sum of sine and cosine waves of different frequencies.
Beats: Beats are the periodic variation in intensity or amplitude that occurs when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies interfere with each other.
Resonant frequency of atoms and molecules: The resonant frequency of atoms and molecules is used in techniques such as Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for the analysis of chemical compounds.
Mechanical resonance: This type of resonance occurs when an object or system vibrates at its natural frequency in response to an external force.
Acoustic resonance: This is a type of mechanical resonance that occurs when sound waves reflect off surfaces and reinforce each other, resulting in a loud and clear sound.
Electrical resonance: This type of resonance occurs when an electric circuit is subjected to an oscillating voltage or current at a frequency that matches its natural frequency.
Magnetic resonance: This type of resonance occurs when atomic nuclei or electrons, in the presence of an external magnetic field, absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation at a specific frequency.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR): A type of magnetic resonance imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of internal body structures.
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR): A type of magnetic resonance imaging technique that uses microwave radiation and magnetic fields to study the electronic properties of materials.
Resonance energy transfer: This type of resonance occurs when energy is transferred from one molecule to another through resonance interactions.
Resonance fluorescence: This type of resonance occurs when a photon is absorbed by a molecule and then re-emitted at a specific frequency.
Resonant tunneling: This type of resonance occurs when an electron can tunnel through a thin barrier due to the presence of a resonant state.
Mechanical wave resonance: This type of resonance occurs when waves of a specific frequency cause constructive interference resulting in reinforced waves that vibrate objects or materials.
Seismic resonance: This type of resonance occurs when seismic waves (waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, and explosions) are amplified by resonant structures, resulting in massive damage to nearby structures.
Photonic resonance: This type of resonance occurs when light waves are trapped within resonant cavities, resulting in specific colors or patterns of light.
"Resonance can occur in various systems, such as mechanical, electrical, or acoustic systems."
"Resonance can also be detrimental, leading to excessive vibrations or even structural failure in some cases."
"When an oscillating force, an external vibration, is applied at a resonant frequency of a dynamic system, object, or particle, the outside vibration will cause the system to oscillate at a higher amplitude (with more force) than when the same force is applied at other, non-resonant frequencies."
"The resonant frequencies of a system can be identified when the response to an external vibration creates an amplitude that is a relative maximum within the system."
"Resonance phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, orbital resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and resonance of quantum wave functions."
"Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific frequency (e.g., musical instruments), or pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies (e.g., filters)."
"The term resonance (from Latin resonantia, 'echo', from resonare, 'resound') originated from the field of acoustics."
"the sympathetic resonance observed in musical instruments, e.g., when one string starts to vibrate and produce sound after a different one is struck."
"All systems, including molecular systems and particles, tend to vibrate at a natural frequency depending upon their structure."
"the object or system absorbs energy from the external force and starts vibrating with a larger amplitude."
"Small periodic forces that are near a resonant frequency of the system have the ability to produce large amplitude oscillations in the system due to the storage of vibrational energy."
"it is often desirable in certain applications, such as musical instruments or radio receivers."
