  2. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    Water vapor concentration for this gas mixture is 0.4%. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, responsible for 70% of the known absorption of incoming sunlight, particularly in the infrared region, and about 60% of the atmospheric absorption of thermal radiation by the Earth known as the greenhouse effect.

  3. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    The +M effect, also known as the positive mesomeric effect, occurs when the substituent is an electron donating group. The group must have one of two things: a lone pair of electrons, or a negative charge. In the +M effect, the pi electrons are transferred from the group towards the conjugate system, increasing the density of the system.

  4. Pi electron donor-acceptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_electron_donor-acceptor

    The pEDA parameter (pi electron donor-acceptor) is a pi-electron substituent effect scale, described also as mesomeric or resonance effect. There is also a complementary scale - sEDA. The more positive is the value of pEDA the more pi-electron donating is a substituent.

  5. Minnaert resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnaert_resonance

    The Minnaert resonance [1] [2] [3] is a phenomenon associated with a gas bubble pulsating at its natural frequency in a liquid, neglecting the effects of surface tension and viscous attenuation. It is the frequency of the sound made by a drop of water from a tap falling in water underneath, trapping a bubble of air as it falls.

  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. 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 natural frequency.

  8. Coupling coefficient of resonators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_coefficient_of...

    It has a positive value when > and a negative value when < Whereas the value of the capacitive coupling coefficient of resonant LC-circuits k C {\displaystyle k_{C}} is always negative. In accordance with (6), the formula (5) for the capacitive coupling coefficient of resonant circuits takes a different form

  9. Quartz crystal microbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_crystal_microbalance

    Quartz is one member of a family of crystals that experience the piezoelectric effect.The piezoelectric effect has found applications in high power sources, sensors, actuators, frequency standards, motors, etc., and the relationship between applied voltage and mechanical deformation is well known; this allows probing an acoustic resonance by electrical means.
