  2. Resonance (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(particle_physics)

    Thus, the lifetime of a particle is the direct inverse of the particle's resonance width. For example, the charged pion has the second-longest lifetime of any meson, at 2.6033 × 10 −8 s. [2] Therefore, its resonance width is very small, about 2.528 × 10 −8 eV or about 6.11 MHz. Pions are generally not considered as "resonances".

  3. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    This equation comes from the boundary conditions for the pressure wave, which treats the open ends as pressure nodes where the change in pressure Δp must be zero. A more accurate equation considering an end correction is given below: = (+) where r is the radius of the resonance tube. This equation compensates for the fact that the exact point ...

  4. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Resonance in particle physics appears in similar circumstances to classical physics at the level of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Resonances can also be thought of as unstable particles, with the formula in the Universal resonance curve section of this article applying if Γ is the particle's decay rate and Ω is the particle's ...

  5. Relativistic Breit–Wigner distribution - Wikipedia

    (This equation is written using natural units, ħ = c = 1 .) It is most often used to model resonances (unstable particles) in high-energy physics. In this case, E is the center-of-mass energy that produces the resonance, M is the mass of the resonance, and Γ is the resonance width (or decay width), related to its mean lifetime according to τ ...

  6. Resonant interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_interaction

    For example, the deep-water wave equation, a continuous-media system, does not have a three-wave interaction. [2] The Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem, a discrete-media system, does not have a three-wave interaction. It does have a four-wave interaction, but this is not enough to thermalize the system; that requires a six-wave interaction ...

  7. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  8. Resonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonator

    For example, a multiple degree of freedom system can be created by imposing a base excitation on a cantilever beam. In this case the standing wave is imposed on the beam. [ 5 ] This type of system can be used as a sensor to track changes in frequency or phase of the resonance of the fiber.

  9. Surface plasmon resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plasmon_resonance

    Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a phenomenon that occurs where electrons in a thin metal sheet become excited by light that is directed to the sheet with a particular angle of incidence, and then travel parallel to the sheet. Assuming a constant light source wavelength and that the metal sheet is thin, the angle of incidence that triggers ...
