The introduction leaves a lot to be desired. It provides only a vague description of what resonance IS and absolutely no description of what causes it. It doesn't even mention the exchange of one type of energy into another, ie potential gravitation into kinetic in a pendulum. I noticed there was a talk page created 3 years ago about this exact same problem. The fact that it hasn't been remedied yet in the least bit is very dismaying. I would do it myself if I were more educated and in a better position to do so. But surely there is SOMEBODY who cares enough to change this. It's not like this is an article about some obscure phenomenon. It's a very basic and well documented phenomenon that anyone with an education in physics should be able to explain. Unfortunately I'm not educated in post-secondary school in physics so I'm not in a position to make the appropriate changes. But surely somebody is. Surely somebody HAS been since it's been brought up.

Thousands of people will be coming to this page looking for an explanation of resonance. And the fact that THIS is what they're going to get. A vague, confusing mess that explains nothing. Will only further damage Wikipedia's reputation as a credible source of information by perpetuating the rumours dating back to the site's inception that "anyone can change it so anything can be wrong." Not to mention it wouldn't teach them anything about the topic and just leave them confused and misinformed. Which I think is the opposite of what Wikipedia's goal is.

I know opinions should be left out of these pages, but I think it's very important that this issue be remedied. Again, I would love to do it. But I fear with my lack of expertise on the subject, and on editing wiki pages, I would be far out of my element. But I implore anyone in such a position to at least fix the intro. The whole page is a mess to be honest, but one step at a time. 2607:FEA8:99C0:61C0:F883:E9FA:5A34:FB67 (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It shall have at least few words about thermoacoustic resonance. 89.134.31.157 (talk) 11:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
