Resonance Definition and 630 Threads

I want to build a Resonant Cavity to play with frequencies around 100-700 mhz. I'd like to try different shapes, so I was thinking in using a cheap malleable material like aluminum foil. Questions: - I think one layer of aluminum foil might be too thin.. If I paste a couple of layers will do...

Homework Statement 2. Consider an electric circuit consisting of an inductor with inductance L Henrys, a resistor with resistance R Ohms and a capacitor with capacitance C Farads, connected in series with a voltage source of V Volts. The charge q(t) Coulombs on the capacitor at time t ≥ 0...

Why does the total supply current increase when the capacitance value is further increased after parallel resonance is reached (where the supply current is minimum) ? I know it has to do with the phase angles but I cannot reason it out. Thanks

Homework Statement On June 10, 2000, the Millennium Bridge, a new footbridge over the River Thames in London, England, was opened to the public. However, after only two days, it had to be closed to traffic for safety reasons. On the opening day, in fact, so many people were crossing it at the...

Since the resonant frequency of a tank circuit, is completely adjustable, and controlled by the value inductor and capacitor you use, I was wondering if it had any other uses, other than increasing its impedance at its resonant frequency. Can if be used to produce ac signals of its resonant...

Beam standard atomic clocks work by changing the magnetic state of a cesium atom by applying a microwave frequency that matches the resonant frequency of a cesium atom. What is this resonant frequency of the atom in terms of actual events that occur on the atomic level...

Homework Statement My group and i need to do an experiment for school. We decided to investigate the effect of water level in a vine glass (or volume) on the resonance frequency. Basically does the resonance frequency change when you change add water to the glass. I would just like some help...

Hi, I am just confused, regarding some definition above, I hope anybody can help explain differences. Does atoms resonate when subjected to some wave?

A person is swimming underwater and his ear canal of length L=5 cm is filled with water. It can be treated as a column of fluid open at one and closed at the other(eardrum). Velocity of in water is 1500 m/s, at what frequency will his ear be most sensetive due to resonance in his ear canal?

Please explain Nuclear Magnetic resonance and how it is applied to other fields? I know it has to do with magnetic field around atoms and stuff like spectroscopy and imaging. But please correct me and please go in dept with Nuclear magnetic resonance.

Hi, The book I'm following says that resonance depends a lot on the "delocalisation of charge". What does "delocalisation of charge" mean and how do I determine it? Does it mean the number of pi electrons? Thanks in advance!

What´s the difference between a resonance and a virtual state? For comparison, a standard moderately lived state, hydrogen 2p state, has energy of 10,2 eV above ground, and width 4*10ˇ-7 eV. An example of resonance is Delta - with mass 1232 MeV, it´s energy is about 290 MeV above ground...

[Moderator's Note: This discussion was split off from another thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/expunging-myths-from-the-classrooom.849853/] Well, engineering is not my field, so as a layman, I'm having trouble reading the nuanced difference between resonance and flutter. The Tacoma...

I find most textbook explanations of resonance lacking. My understanding is that resonance occurs becuase less "driving energy" is lost when the driven frequency approaches the natural frequency of a system. But why does the energy loss curve like this? Since Q-factor is different for each...

Hello, I have recently picked up drumming and the topic of tuning has peaked my interest. I have gone over numerous sources (academic theses, Wikipedia, HyperPhysics, etc.) trying to piece together what is occurring when drums (right now tom with two heads, batter and resonant, are of most...

the carbon in benzene is sp2 hybridized and the p orbital is involved in double bond.sp2 orbitals and p orbitals are perpendicular to each other,for any electronic transition between orbitals,the orbitals should not be perpendicular.so how does pi electron go to carbon's orbital?

Alright. I have also a few questions concerning dipol-antennas: first: It has often been said, that the dipol antenna, in order to receive a certain frequency, needs to have a length of λ/2. I don't see a clear reason for that. If one would not know that, one had to calculate the Capacity...

The Transverse resonance method is used to determine the propagation constant of a wave in several waveguides, like the rectangular waveguide, or also dielectric waveguides. It takes advantage of the fact that a standing wave is present along a certain direction (transverse with respect to the...

(I'm new to the Forum, so if I violate the rules unknowingly, please do let me know) So, during a recent research, I analyzed the frequency spectrum of our hand's oscillation while walking. As it turns out, it contains distinct harmonic frequencies (around 1.8*n Hz), and the second among them...

For a spring and mass system, I've learned the resonance frequency of a system increases with decrease in mass. Not sure if this case is also related but when I attach a coin sized metal onto a piezoelectric material of a smaller size, the resonance frequency range actually goes up (from...

From the resonance structures of Naphthalene, 1-2 Bond has more double Bond character than 2-3 Bond. In March's Advanced organic chemistry, its given that ozone preferentially reacts with 1-2 Bond. But the reaction is not given. Is this a normal ozonolysis reaction in which the 1-2 Bond is...

A string that is 6m long is vibrating with 3 loops in it. The frequency of the source is 16.5Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the string? For the life of me I can't figure out how to solve this question. I found out that the wavelength is 4.8m but that's about it. If I use the equation...

I was talking to a friend recently and he said something to me that i just didn't understand. He is a physicist and i most certainly am not. I was telling him about similarities that i had observed between two things and was not sure if it was a coincidence or if there was a tangible link...

I recorded the sound spectra of a singing wineglass (rubbed the rim with a wet finger) and a pinging wineglass (tapped anywhere at its wall) with a smartphone. Evidently the fundamental tones of both vibrations are identical, but the overtones are very different (harmonic vs. anharmonic). As the...
