This is naive question, born in a half-conscious imagination, being rocked to sleep. On a (very) recent vacation, I took a cruise aboard the MSC Orchestra, almost 300 metres long and almost 100,000 tons. During medium-high seas, I lay in my bunk (midship, near top deck, 120 feet up) and felt...

An object only undergoes an oscillation when I act on it. If I push a spring, it will have a certain frequency, and if I push a different way, it will have a different one. What is meant by natural frequency? What is meant by resonance?

Just to check my understanding: -The glass will only break when the sound is at the resonant frequency of the glass. -This creates standing waves in the glass. -The glass will only shatter if the sound is at a high enough volume (amplitude) -Otherwise, at a lower volume at resonant frequency...

<Moderator's note: Template removed due to replacement in a technical forum.> In the textbook, it said that standing waves only occur at the resonant frequencies of the medium. I don't understand why. My understanding of standing waves is that it is when the medium length (slinky) is a...

Consider a hypothetical pipe of length L and diameter d with both end closed. The pipe is filled with a some fluid. Let there be a ultrasound source of frequency f=v/2L at one end of the pipe and a sensor to measure pressure at the other end of the pipe, where v is the speed of ultrasound wave...

Hi Physics, I have an idea but before i start. I must know am I right. Is it possible? We have a small room with two objects. The first object is a producer of sound waves out of the human hearing range. This object sends ultra sound waves to the second object. The second object start to...

I'm trying to understand cyclotron resonance measurements of electron effective mass in intrinsic silicon. I need to understand the theory used to make the computations of effective mass in non-parabolic bands. A basic introduction to the cyclotron technique is here, but only for parabolic...

In my chemistry study material a set of rules to draw resonance structures are given. They are: (1) Only electrons move. The nuclei of the atoms never move. (2) The only electrons that can move are pi electrons (electrons in pi bonds) and lone-pair electrons. (3) The total number of electrons...

I just spent some time on Wikipedia, learning about Schumann resonance, and had a question: How does the Schumann resonance relate to thunderstorms? Is there a direct relationship between the Schumann resonance and the lightning activity; the number of lightning events per second for example...

Hi all! I was a member here 10+ years ago and tended to lurk in the shadows but not really post much, either feeling I didn't have too much to add and also tending to find the answers to questions I was looking for already - however for some reason I've been pruned and without being a member I...

I'm working through a paper "Dynamics of Planetary Rings" by Goldreich and Tremaine (http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.aa.20.090182.001341). I'm working through p.22 about expanding the potential of an external satellite as a double Fourier series. The external satellite is in...

Homework Statement I was reading a PDE book with a problem of resonance $$ y_{tt} (x,t) = y_{xx} (x,t) + A \sin( \omega t) $$ After some work it arrived to a problem of variation of parameters for each odd eigenvalue. To solve it, it uses $$ y''(t)+a^{2} y(t) = b \sin ( \omega t) \qquad y(0)=0...

If a self oscillating electrical (passive) system is excited at two nodes A and B by a sinusoidal current, and if this system has one degree of freedom, then the response of the system is maximal at the resonance frequency. Quantitatively, this means that the ratio of the exciting complex...

the charged particle undergoes acceleration because of the presence of electric field between the two Dee. as a result the electric field needs to change it's direction according to the motion of the charged particle. since the time period of the charged particle does not depend upon the...
