A resonant sound, echo
(figuratively) Something that evokes an association, or a strong emotion.
(physics) The increase in the amplitude of an oscillation of a system under the influence of a periodic force whose frequency is close to that of the system's natural frequency.
(nuclear physics) A short-lived subatomic particle that cannot be observed directly.
* 2004', When experiments with the first ‘atom-smashers’ took place in the 1950s to 1960s, many short-lived heavier siblings of the proton and neutron, known as ‘'''resonances ’, were discovered. — Frank Close, ''Particle Physics: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford 2004, p. 35)
An increase in the strength or duration of a musical tone produced by sympathetic vibration.
(chemistry) The property of a compound that can be visualized as having two structures differing only in the distribution of electrons.
the quality of being intense
the degree of strength
(physics) time-averaged energy flux (the ratio of average power to the area through which the power "flows"); irradiance
(optics) can mean any of radiant intensity, luminous intensity or irradiance
(astronomy) syn. radiance
(geology) The severity of an earthquake in terms of its effects on the earth's surface, and buildings. The value depends on the distance from the epicentre, and is not to be confused with the magnitude.
As nouns the difference between resonance and intensity
is that resonance is resonance while intensity is the quality of being intense.resonance
