resolving power

A measure of the ability of a lens or optical system to form separate and distinct images of two objects with small angular separation.
Note 1: An optical system cannot form a perfect image of a point (i.e., point source). Instead, it performs what is essentially a Fourier transform, and the resolving power of an optical system may be expressed… (Read More →)

resonance

In an electrical circuit, the condition that exists when the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are of equal magnitude, causing electrical energy to oscillate between the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor.
Note 1:
Resonance occurs because the collapsing magnetic field of the inductor generates an electric current in its windings that charges… (Read More →)

Resource
