AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the request for an equation that incorporates two coefficients of restitution (COR) in a single formula. A user shares a link to a Wikipedia equation but seeks further clarification on handling two CORs. Another participant points out that in scenarios involving two objects, only one COR can be applied. This highlights a fundamental principle in physics regarding the interaction of colliding bodies. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding COR in collision dynamics.

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! 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 weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
