Usage: physics; music
2. hollow chambers in musical instruments that enhance and project sound through resonance
Usage: music

Examples

• The guitar’s wooden body contains natural resonators that amplify the strings’ vibrations.
• Scientists used electronic resonators to detect subtle frequency changes in the experiment.
• The violin’s f-holes act as resonators to project the instrument’s sound.
• Modern speakers contain carefully designed resonators to enhance bass frequencies.
• The cathedral’s architecture includes stone resonators that amplify the choir’s voices.
• Engineers tested various resonators to improve the acoustic quality of the concert hall.
