  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. Mechanical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance

    Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a mechanical system to respond at greater amplitude when the frequency of its oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of vibration (its resonance frequency or resonant frequency) closer than it does other frequencies. It may cause violent swaying motions and potentially catastrophic failure in ...

  5. Resonance (particle physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In particle physics, a resonance is the peak located around a certain energy found in differential cross sections of scattering experiments. These peaks are associated with subatomic particles , which include a variety of bosons , quarks and hadrons (such as nucleons , delta baryons or upsilon mesons ) and their excitations .

  6. Orbital resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance

    Several prominent examples of secular resonance involve Saturn. There is a near-resonance between the precession of Saturn's rotational axis and that of Neptune's orbital axis (both of which have periods of about 1.87 million years), which has been identified as the likely source of Saturn's large axial tilt (26.7°).

  7. Helmholtz resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance

    Helmholtz resonance, also known as wind throb, refers to the phenomenon of air resonance in a cavity, an effect named after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. [1] This type of resonance occurs when air is forced in and out of a cavity (the resonance chamber ), causing the air inside to vibrate at a specific natural frequency .

  8. List of mesons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mesons

    Mesons named with the letter "f" are scalar mesons (as opposed to a pseudo-scalar meson), and mesons named with the letter "a" are axial-vector mesons (as opposed to an ordinary vector meson) a.k.a. an isoscalar vector meson, while the letters "b" and "h" refer to axial-vector mesons with positive parity, negative C-parity, and quantum numbers I G of 1 + and 0 − respectively.

  9. Microwave cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_cavity

    A microwave cavity or radio frequency cavity (RF cavity) is a special type of resonator, consisting of a closed (or largely closed) metal structure that confines electromagnetic fields in the microwave or RF region of the spectrum. The structure is either hollow or filled with dielectric material. The microwaves bounce back and forth between ...
