What's the difference between harmonic and resonance?

Harmonic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Harmonical
  • (n.) A musical note produced by a number of vibrations which is a multiple of the number producing some other; an overtone. See Harmonics.

  • (18) However, regulatory variations have largely been removed within politically and geographically similar regions (e.g., the U.S.A., the European Community, the Nordic countries) and there now appears to be a consensus regarding the value of harmonizing international requirements.
  • (19) A number of other characteristic harmonic behaviors were also observed.
  • (20) Both tones were based on a five-component harmonic series.

Resonance


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of resounding; the quality or state of being resonant.
  • (n.) A prolongation or increase of any sound, either by reflection, as in a cavern or apartment the walls of which are not distant enough to return a distinct echo, or by the production of vibrations in other bodies, as a sounding-board, or the bodies of musical instruments.

Example Sentences:
