Definition of Resonator

1. Noun. A hollow chamber whose dimensions allow the resonant oscillation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves.

2. Noun. An electrical circuit that combines capacitance and inductance in such a way that a periodic electric oscillation will reach maximum amplitude.

3. Noun. Any system that resonates.

Definition of Resonator

1. n. Anything which resounds; specifically, a vessel in the form of a cylinder open at one end, or a hollow ball of brass with two apertures, so contrived as to greatly intensify a musical tone by its resonance. It is used for the study and analysis of complex sounds.

2. n. Anything that resounds or resonates;
