Frequency or resonance?
|
|
I just had a question that I was pondering earlier today: What is the difference between an object's natural frequency and its resonance? |

In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to absorb more energy when the frequency of the oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of vibration (its resonant frequency) than it does at other frequencies. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance)

So the thing that makes crystal glasses shatter is the person's ability to match the glass' resonant frequency? Could this be applies to things, other than crystal glasses? |

Resonate frequencies can be calulated based on the wavelength of that frequency. the resonant frequency of radio antenna for example is 1/4W=(468/Fh)/2 Where 1/4= is a quarter wavelength, the shortest usable resonant frequency 468= Universal constant based on the propigation of a radio wave Fh= frequency in Mhz  |
