Resonance Resonance In mechanical systems, resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when the frequency at which a force is periodically applied is equal or nearly equal to one of the natural frequencies of the system on which it acts. This causes the system to oscillate with larger amplitude than when the force is applied at other frequencies. Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as resonant frequencies or resonance frequencies of the system. Near resonant frequencies, small periodic forces have the ability to produce large amplitude oscillations, due to the storage of vibrational energy. In other
Greater-than sign greater-than sign (>) is an original ASCII character (hex 3E, decimal 62). The character in Unicode is ; this is inherited from the same value in ASCII. Apart from this, Unicode also has the following variants: The greater-than sign is used for an approximation of the closing angle bracket (⟩). ASCII does not have angular brackets. BASIC and C-family languages, (including Java and C++) use the operator > to mean "greater than". In Lisp-family languages, > is a function used to mean "greater than". In Coldfusion and Fortran, operator .GT. means "greater than". The double greater-than sign (») is used
