Resonance Quality Factor
Q_f = f_0 / delta_f
What it says
How sharply a resonator selects one frequency — a high Q is a narrow peak.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
Q_f | Quality factor (dimensionless) | 1 |
f_0 | Resonant frequency (Hz) | T^-1 |
delta_f | Bandwidth (Hz) | T^-1 |
Work it out
Enter what you know. No account needed.
Fill in all but one: f_0, delta_f, Q_f are all empty.
