What is resonance?How can you explain it in some understandable way or with a simple experiment?

the state of a system in which an abnormally large vibration is produced in response to an external stimulus, occurring when the frequency of the stimulus is the same, or nearly the same, as the natural vibration frequency of the system.\n\nthis is whereby an object vibrates in the same frequency with another object, This is due to the energy transfer from one object to the other. \nreasonance occurs when one creates a vibration and the sorounding objects emit the same vibrations because of the frequency ernergy emmited.\n\nexample 1:\n\nturn your Hi Fi system to full blast in the house and notice the windows will start to vibrate(this is resonance you will be experiencing).\nexperiment 2:\n\ntake a speaker then plug it to your system then birng it closer to another speaker example is in this format =[(  )]= notice that the second speaker will emmit sound(coz of the vibration created dy the first speaker).\n\ninfact antenas use reasonance inorder to receive  waves(channels) \n\nalso you can read a reserch report on it below

People sort of understand waves and they understand particles, light might be a disturbance in the space time continum. Just a definate bit energy with an uncertainty where it is, traveling. Some "particles" exist for such a short time , they are more a resonance. I am looking forward to new research and thoughts on nature of light.

Alien's answer is very good...\n\nOn same subject ... when I was a kid, I was fascinated to learn how the buzzer works. It is more or less the same principle but with mechanical and electrical 'actions' -- when you press the button you close a DC electrical circuit that activates an electromagnet that pulls a little hummer that rings a bell. As soon as the 'hummer' moves it disconnect the circuit and the magnet does not work any more. The 'hummer' goes back to its initial position b/c it has a string attached, But then it closes the circuit and everything repeats... ha-ha-ha, I still remember my first impression

The only sort of optical resonance that results in increasing light intensity in what occurs inside lasers. Here, electrons which have been excited to higher metastable states in special materials are knocked down to lower energy levels by a photon, and in the process release an identicle photon to the first. Photons travelling back and forth between mirrors on either side of the matereal build up in resonance (one mirror is only about 99% reflective, allowing 1% of the light to be emitted, this is the laser beam). This is called stimulated emission and is what causes lasers to produce a very straight, monochromatic and in phase light beam.\n\nGeometrical resonance could be loosely interpreted to mean when interference patterns occur due to specific geometrical  patterns in and between mediums. A very thin film, such an oil slick in on top of a flat surface, which reflect light from its top and bottom surfaces which are only separated by a distance of about half a wavelength of visible light. This causes some wavelengths to be reflected in phase and some out of phase, causing constructive and destructive interference respectively. This is why you see different colours depending on the thickness of the oil slick.\n\nTwo optically flat (extreemly flat) pieces of glass placed on top of each other with a very thin spacer at one end, causing a thin air wedge between, will result in a pattern of light and dark bands if using monochromatic light, or a complex pattern of colours if using white light, as a result of the different interferences between different wavelengths as the distance between the plates of glass vary at different points of the wedge.

It can be "explained" with quantum mechanics. If you can find the movies of the lectures given by Richard Feynmen in New Zealand, there are 4 lectures if I am correct, In the first lecture he explains it very well in Laymans terms.\n\nIt takes a fair bit of explanation so I won't attemp to relate it here.

well, a couple i can think of:\n\n- NMR (which, from looking at your gyromagnetic ratio question, i suspect is your thing, so i wont explain it)\n- hyperfine structure of spectral lines (comes from the coupling of nuclear to electronic spins)\n- you can also stick 'em in the path of a highly accelerated particle beam and measure the scattering as a function of azimuthal angle.  when i worked at SLAC we ran an experiment that did just this.\n\nthat's all i can come up with off the top of my head!

.  Electrical resonance is not generally related to mechanical resonance.  It would be possible, with considerable calculation and inventiveness to put together a device which vibrated in time with or at a harmonic fraction of its electrical resonant frequency, but it would be a real academic undertaking.\n.  There is no single equation to calculate the resonant frequency of "an object".  If you narrowly define the object as say "a taut string" or "a circular plate", equations of only a few terms can be derived for each of those cases, but the equations would not be the same for different cases.  There would be similarities, but they would have diffent constants and different variables.  Most objects would require the development of a complicated mathematical description of the interelatedness of the masses, elastic properties, dimensions, stiffnesses and coupling mechanics of the various components of the object in order to calculate a resonant frequency.  For some complex objects, which are dominated by a single large and simple structure, like say the cylindrical fuselage of an airplane, there are formulae to calculate the resonant frequency.  For objects like suspension bridges, or cable stayed bridges or skyscrapers, it is necessary to go through the pains of developing a mathematical model to find a range within which the object will resonate.  For most objects, you just build it, test it and then do something to eliminate undesirable resonances.\n.  Pretty much the same can be said about calculating the electrical resonance of an object.\n.  For simple resonant circuits there are straightforward formulae for calculating their resonant frequencies, but the formulae are different for different types of resonant circuits.  Whatever text I might have on resonance of electrical circuits is buried in a box somewhere, but should be able to find a book which includes these formuale and other electrical formulae at a college library, online or maybe even at some place like Radio Shack®.

It's called 'impulse' and any good, lower division, physics book will have an explanation of what it is and how it works.\n\n\nDoug

Think of a guitar string that has been tuned by stretching the string under tension across the guitar. Depending on how the string is plucked and how much tension is in the string, different musical notes will be created by the string. These musical notes could be said to be excitation modes of that guitar string under tension. \n In a similar manner, in string theory, the elementary particles we observe in particle accelerators could be thought of as the "musical notes" or excitation modes of elementary strings. \n In string theory, as in guitar playing, the string must be stretched under tension in order to become excited. However, the strings in string theory are floating in spacetime, they aren't tied down to a guitar. Nonetheless, they have tension. The string tension in string theory is denoted by the quantity 1/(2 p a'), where a' is pronounced "alpha prime"and is equal to the square of the string length scale.

The very best explanation to this is a video I watched in my Philosophy class called "The String Theory" - it is amazing, and makes complete sense. If you looked it up on the internet, it goes into deep detail and is confusing. The video is by Nova (the science channel), and maybe someone else, but it is perfect. Unexplainably mind boggling and amazing.

Better or worse than what? I'm betting this is about a parallel-resonant L-C circuit. I don't know what the original load is, but the more you load down such a circuit (i.e., the lower the load resistance) the broader the resonance and the lower the gain and Q. This follows from a formula for Q, Q=R/sqrt(L/C) (see formula for Q_load in ref.) where w is the resonant frequency (rad/sec), R is resistance and C is capacitance.

Your first paragraph is quite true. Tesla patented various methods for transmitting power using large resonators with local "receivers."  If you have a resonant cavity you can get pretty good coupling between source and receiver (microwave oven for example).  The general use for power distribution has its problems, not least of which is how do you charge($) the receiver?\n\nThe analogy of sympathetic vibration is valid.\n\nNot sure what to make of the magnetism bit.\n\nElectrons resonate - they may in fact be "resonances"\n\nOur entire electrical power system is based on Electricity and Magnetism so I think the answer is yes we can pick up energy.\n\nWhat may be missing is that we also have to provide the energy up front before we get to pick it up!
