Resonance \Res"o*nance\ (r?z"?-nans), n. [Cf. F. r['e]sonance, L. resonantia an echo.]
The act of resounding; the quality or state of being resonant.
(Acoustics) A prolongation or increase of any sound, either by reflection, as in a cavern or apartment the walls of which are not distant enough to return a distinct echo, or by the production of vibrations in other bodies, as a sounding-board, or the bodies of musical instruments.
-
(Physics) A phenomenon in which a vibration or other cyclic process (such as tide cycles) of large amplitude is produced by smaller impulses, when the frequency of the external impulses is close to that of the natural cycling frequency of the process in that system.
Note: The shattering of a glass object when impinged upon by sound of a certain frequency is one example of this phenomenon; another is the very large tides in certain basins such as that of the Bay of Fundy, which has a natural cycling frequency close to that of the tidal cycle.
-
(Electronics) An electric phenomenon corresponding to that of acoustic resonance, due to the existance of certain relations of the capacity, inductance, resistance, and frequency of an alternating circuit; the tuning of a radio transmitter or receiver to send or detect waves of specific frequencies depends on this phenomenon.
Pulmonary resonance (Med.), the sound heard on percussing over the lungs.
Vocal resonance (Med.), the sound transmitted to the ear when auscultation is made while the patient is speaking.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
mid-15c., in acoustics, "prolongation of sound by reverberation;" 1660s, "act of resonating;" from Middle French resonance (15c.), from Latin resonantia "echo," from resonare "to sound again" (see resound). Earlier in same sense was resonation (early 15c.).

Resonance may refer to:
Resonance is a compilation album by the British rock band Anathema. It was released in 2001 as the first of two compilation albums featuring best-of as well as previously unreleased material, this one focusing on the band's softer music. It was followed by Resonance Vol. 2 in 2002.
In physics, resonance describes when a vibrating system or external force drives another system to oscillate with greater amplitude at a specific preferential frequency.
Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as the system's resonant frequencies or resonance frequencies. At resonant frequencies, small periodic driving forces have the ability to produce large amplitude oscillations. This is because the system stores vibrational energy.
Resonance occurs when a system is able to store and easily transfer energy between two or more different storage modes (such as kinetic energy and potential energy in the case of a pendulum). However, there are some losses from cycle to cycle, called damping. When damping is small, the resonant frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is a frequency of unforced vibrations. Some systems have multiple, distinct, resonant frequencies.
Resonance phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and resonance of quantum wave functions. Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific frequency (e.g., musical instruments), or pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies (e.g., filters).
The term resonance (from Latin resonantia, 'echo', from resonare, 'resound') originates from the field of acoustics, particularly observed in musical instruments, e.g., when strings started to vibrate and to produce sound without direct excitation by the player.
In chemistry, resonance or mesomerism is a way of describing delocalized electrons within certain molecules or polyatomic ions where the bonding cannot be expressed by one single Lewis structure. A molecule or ion with such delocalized electrons is represented by several contributing structures (also called resonance structures or canonical structures).
Each contributing structure can be represented by a Lewis structure, with only an integer number of covalent bonds between each pair of atoms within the structure. Several Lewis structures are used collectively to describe the actual molecular structure, which is an approximate intermediate between the canonical forms called a resonance hybrid. Contributing structures differ only in the position of electrons, not in the position of nuclei.
Electron delocalization lowers the potential energy of the substance and thus makes it more stable than any of the contributing structures. The difference between the potential energy of the actual structure and that of the contributing structure with the lowest potential energy is called the resonance energy or delocalization energy.
Resonance is distinguished from isomerism. An isomer is a molecule with the same chemical formula but with different arrangements of atoms in space. Resonance contributors of a molecule, on the contrary, can only differ by the arrangements of electrons. Therefore, the resonance hybrid cannot be represented by a combination of isomers.
Resonance is an album by Jordan Rudess recorded and released in 1999.
The album fits with Rudess' "lighter side" along with Secrets of the Muse, 4NYC, Christmas Sky and Notes on a Dream. The tracks are primarily improvised on synthesizers.
Resonance is an album by alternative rock band Mad at Gravity released in 2002. It was the only album the band released before they split up, and showcases complex melodies and vocals. The singles "Burn" and "Walk Away" were featured over the end title credits of the 2002 action film Reign of Fire.
"Walk Away", "Burn", and the unreleased track "Stay" have acoustic versions.
In promotion of the album, the band toured with such acts as Creed, Filter, Sevendust, and Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains).
"Resonance" is the second episode of the first season of the Syfy television series Warehouse 13. It first aired July 14, 2009, and was written by David Simkins and directed by Vincent Misiano.
Resonance is the fourth full-length studio album by Polish grindcore band Antigama. It was released May 15, 2007, by Relapse Records.
Resonance is a third-person point and click adventure game developed by XII Games and published by Wadjet Eye Games. It was released on June 19, 2012 and is available via Steam and DRM free on GOG.com.
"Resonance" is the twenty-second single from T.M.Revolution released on June 11, 2008 in Japan by Epic Records Japan. "Resonance" was released three years after T.M.Revolution's twenty-first single "Vestige". The single was released in three types of editions: CD-only, CD+DVD and CD+ Blu-ray Disc; this is the first time in history for an artist to release a CD+Blu-ray Disc format. The first edition releases also came with a "T.M.Revolution×Soul Eater Wide Cup" sticker. The PV uses segments from all his past music videos edited to make it look like he's singing the lyrics to "Resonance." "Resonance" is used as the opening theme to the anime Soul Eater, and the song "Soul's Crossing" on the single is used as the theme song to the video game based on the Soul Eater series, Soul Eater: Monotone Princess.
In particle physics, a resonance is the peak located around a certain energy found in differential cross sections of scattering experiments. These peaks are associated with subatomic particles (such as nucleons, delta baryons, upsilon mesons) and their excitations. The width of the resonance (Γ) is related to the lifetime (τ) of the particle (or its excited state) by the relation
$\Gamma=\frac{\hbar}{\tau}$where h is the Planck constant and ${\hbar}=\frac{h}{2\pi}$.
Resonance is an album by the Madras String Quartet led by violinist V.S. Narasimhan. The album consists of several compositions in Carnatic Music that are played against a background of harmonies from Western Classical Music. This album is the result of an effort to fuse Western Classical Music and Indian Classical Music. The songs are played entirely on a violin with cellos and violas providing the background.
Some Carnatic Musicians have criticized the Quartet saying that they are "Innovative but Discordant". The album, however has received significant praise from many music enthusiasts all over India.
The album comprises nine songs:
