What is resonance simple words?
English Language Learners Definition of resonance : the quality of a sound that stays loud, clear, and deep for a long time. : a quality that makes something personally meaningful or important to someone. : a sound or vibration produced in one object that is caused by the sound or vibration produced in another.
What is resonance in everyday life?
Resonance occurs when the frequency of the applied force is equal to one of the natural frequencies of vibration of the forced or driven harmonic oscillator. Swing, Guitar, Pendulum, Bridge and Music system are a few examples of resonance in everyday life.
How can resonance be harmful?
It may cause violent swaying motions and potentially catastrophic failure in improperly constructed structures including bridges, buildings and airplanes. This is a phenomenon known as resonance disaster. Avoiding resonance disasters is a major concern in every building, tower and bridge construction project.
What does emotional resonance mean?
Emotion Resonance is “I feel your pain”, and can be of two types: identical resonance – realizing that someone else is in pain and then actually feeling the pain yourself or reactive resonance – when you sympathize with someone else’s pain and feel inclined to help (source: Ekman’s taxonomy of compassion)
What makes something resonant?
Resonance, An object free to vibrate tends to do so at a specific rate called the object’s natural, or resonant, frequency. Such an object will vibrate strongly when it is subjected to vibrations or regular impulses at a frequency equal to or very close to its natural frequency. This phenomenon is called resonance.
Why does resonance occur?
Resonance only occurs when the first object is vibrating at the natural frequency of the second object. As we have learned earlier, an increase in the length of a vibrational system (here, the air in the tube) increases the wavelength and decreases the natural frequency of that system.
What are some examples of resonance?
Some examples of resonance are a pendulum, a playground swing, a tuning fork and a human voice at a pitch sufficient to shatter glass.
What is the definition of resonance?
Definition of resonance. 1a : the quality or state of being resonant. b(1) : a vibration of large amplitude in a mechanical or electrical system caused by a relatively small periodic stimulus of the same or nearly the same period as the natural vibration period of the system.
What is resonance theory?
Theory of resonance, in chemistry, theory by which the actual normal state of a molecule is represented not by a single valence-bond structure but by a combination of several alternative distinct structures.
What is resonance in science?
Resonance Definition: Resonance is a method of describing the delocalized electrons in some molecules where the bonding cannot be explicitly expressed by a single Lewis structure. Each individual Lewis structure is called a contributing structure of the target molecule or ion.
