Resonant Frequencies and Natural Frequencies

AI Thread Summary
Resonant frequencies and natural frequencies are often considered the same but can differ based on context. Resonant frequencies refer to specific frequencies at which a system naturally oscillates, while natural frequencies are inherent to the system's physical properties. The distinction lies in the fact that resonant frequencies can arise from various occurrences, not strictly limited to natural phenomena. Understanding the parameters that define each frequency type is crucial for accurate differentiation. Overall, while they are closely related, they are not universally interchangeable.

Hi everyone,

So, resonance, are resonant frequencies and natural frequencies the same thing with a different name? If not could someone please explain the difference.

Been searching for the answer for over an hour.

Thanks in advance

Resonant frequencies are a type of frequency due to many occurrences either natural or unnatural (depending on one's definition of natural). It may be a natural frequency or not (for the skeptics) that it's due to So it is Not the same as it can not be generalized unless it has a set of parameters detailing.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
