2.名詞C1
釋義

常見搭配
  • mechanical resonance
  • acoustic resonance
  • resonance frequency
  • frequency of resonance
同義詞
  • sympathetic vibration

    more precise technical term for the same phenomenon

  • oscillation

    broader — any back-and-forth motion, not necessarily frequency-matched

  • amplification

    more general — any increase in strength, not specific to sound

反義詞

用法筆記

Common in physics, engineering, and music contexts. The term is almost always paired with 'frequency' — resonance happens when two objects share or nearly share a natural frequency. The countable form ('a resonance') is used when referring to a specific resonant frequency or mode.

常見錯誤

Resonance requires matching frequencies from a separate source, not just touching the object.
