  2. 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 ...

  3. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    As shown in the figure, resonance may also occur at other frequencies near the resonant frequency, including ω 0, but the maximum response is at the resonant frequency. Also, ω r is only real and non-zero if ζ < 1 / 2 {\textstyle \zeta <1/{\sqrt {2}}} , so this system can only resonate when the harmonic oscillator is significantly underdamped.

  4. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    For a particular driving frequency called the resonance, or resonant frequency =, the amplitude (for a given ) is maximal. This resonance effect only occurs when < /, i.e. for significantly underdamped systems. For strongly underdamped systems the value of the amplitude can become quite large near the resonant frequency.

  5. Förster resonance energy transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Förster_resonance_energy...

    The applications of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) have expanded tremendously in the last 25 years, and the technique has become a staple in many biological and biophysical fields. FRET can be used as a spectroscopic ruler to measure distance and detect molecular interactions in a number of systems and has applications in biology ...

  6. Normal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mode

    The waves in quantum systems are oscillations in probability amplitude rather than material displacement. The frequency of oscillation, f, relates to the mode energy by E = hf where h is the Planck constant. Thus a system like an atom consists of a linear combination of modes of definite energy. These energies are characteristic of the ...

  7. Mechanical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance

    In mechanics and construction a resonance disaster describes the destruction of a building or a technical mechanism by induced vibrations at a system's resonant frequency, which causes it to oscillate. Periodic excitation optimally transfers to the system the energy of the vibration and stores it there. Because of this repeated storage and ...

  8. Coupling coefficient of resonators - Wikipedia

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

    All diagonal elements in a tuned filter are equal to zero because a susceptance vanishes at the resonant frequency. Important merit of the matrix M {\displaystyle \mathbf {M} } is the fact that it allows to directly compute the frequency response of the equivalent network having the inductively coupled resonant circuits,.

  9. Electrical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resonance

    Electrical resonance occurs in an electric circuit at a particular resonant frequency when the impedances or admittances of circuit elements cancel each other. In some circuits, this happens when the impedance between the input and output of the circuit is almost zero and the transfer function is close to one.
