Questions tagged [resonance]

Resonance is a characteristic of physical systems having a structure that allows energy to flow between various states at a specific, oscillatory rate (resonant frequency). For a stable resonant system at steady state the internal energy is either fixed without losses or the rate of energy input is equal to the energy losses.

I'm trying to make sense of how resonances in pipes work. I gather that, in the instance below, the fundamental resonant frequency of the 1m closed pipe (ignoring end correction etc.) is $$ f_{0} = \...

Let me preface this by saying that I am aware of the tremendous absurdity that this would be from an engineering and common-sense angle; I am interested only in the theoretical aspect of this question....

Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very ...

My textbook says: The amplitude of forced vibrations of a body does not remain constant due to the presence of damping forces of the surrounding medium. However, it is possible to keep the amplitude ...

I am doing a project about frequency of sound a wineglass makes, both empty and with some water in it. However, I got quite confused with the formulas. From https://www.nikhef.nl/~h73/tgo/praktgeluid/...

Consider the usual resonance tube experiment: The tube is a cylinder of length $L$ and radius $r$. I am interested in both configurations shown in the diagram—one with one open end and one closed end,...

Recently I came across the "end correction" in organ pipes, and got to know that it affected only displacement waves, i.e it shifts the antinode of these displacement waves further outward. ...

In a resonance column experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air, what is the amplitude of vibration of the ends of the prongs of the tuning fork? My book cites this information: ...

This didn't help: Why do power lines buzz?, as what I'm hearing is not a buzz like a transformer. Observations: It occurs on both calm days and windy days. It does not always occur. I suspect it's ...

What sound would be made if we hit a tuning fork, which produces sound at some frequency of $A~\mathrm{Hz}$, at a frequency of $B~\mathrm{Hz}$? That is to say, we hit the tuning fork at a constant ...

I understand why the frequency decreases as water is added, but I'm curious why in most experiments with cylindrical glasses a parabolic relationship typically governs this decrease. Are there ...

If electrons/protons enter a magnetic field, say, orthogonal to the motion direction, besides experiencing a Lorentz force, they would resonate since each electron/proton has an intrinsic magnetic ...
