1 The phenomenon of amplification of a free wave or oscillation of a system by a forced wave or oscillation of exactly equal period The forced wave may arise from an impressed force upon the system or from a boundary condition The growth of the resonant amplitude is characteristically linear in time
An ac circuit condition in which inductive and capacitive interact to cause a minimum or maximum circuit impedance
The result of forced vibrations in a body when an applied frequency matches the natural frequency of the body
(1) The inducing of vibrations of a natural rate by a vibrating source having the same frequency (2) The condition in an a-c circuit in which the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal
the quality imparted to voiced speech sounds by the action of the resonating chambers of the throat and mouth and nasal cavities
the quality imparted to voiced speech sounds by the action of the resonating chambers of the throat and mouth and nasal cavities a vibration of large amplitude produced by a relatively small vibration near the same frequency of vibration as the natural frequency of the resonating system an excited state of a stable particle causing a sharp maximum in the probability of absorption of electromagnetic radiation
A phenomenon exhibited by an electrically excited LC circuit in which a comparatively large oscillatory current flows at a certain frequency The change in amplitude as the frequency of the wave approaches or coincides with a natural frequency of the medium
the state of a system in which an abnormally large vibration is produced in response to an external stimulus, occurring when the frequency of the stimulus is the same, or nearly the same, as the natural vibration frequency of the system
The tendency of an acoustic system to reinforce sounds of a certain frequency, the frequency determined by the shapes and sizes of the components of the system
The property of a compound that can be visualized as having two structures differing only in the distribution of electrons
