resonant coupling
[/ˈrɛzənənt ˈkʌplɪŋ/]
nounpl: resonant couplings
acoplamento ressonante
1. A phenomenon in physics and engineering where two or more oscillating systems exchange energy efficiently when they operate at the same or related frequencies, resulting in enhanced amplitude and energy transfer
The resonant coupling between the two tuning forks caused them to vibrate in unison.
O acoplamento ressonante entre os dois diapasões fez com que vibrassem em uníssono.
2. In electronics and telecommunications, the efficient transfer of electrical energy between circuits tuned to the same frequency
Wireless charging uses resonant coupling to transfer power across short distances without direct contact.
O carregamento sem fio usa acoplamento ressonante para transferir energia através de distâncias curtas sem contato direto.
3. In quantum mechanics, the interaction between quantum systems that allows them to exchange energy states when their energy levels are aligned
Resonant coupling between molecular orbitals determines the bonding characteristics of chemical compounds.
O acoplamento ressonante entre orbitais moleculares determina as características de ligação de compostos químicos.
This is primarily a technical term used in physics, engineering, and electronics fields. It is used identically in both Brazilian and American English contexts, with the same Portuguese translation employed across Brazil and Portugal. The term has gained prominence in recent years due to applications in wireless power transfer and quantum computing technologies.
