Hi. I was wondering what makes a certain material resonate with a certain frequency. Which factors influence an object's resonating frequency? I've also searched the net for some list of resonating frequencies for different materials (considering they are pure or in normal state) but I didn't find anything. Is it just my first impression or this area doesn't receive any attention? Can you point me to somebody who can give me a list or at least a way to get a list? As for water's resonating frequency, I found out it's 2.3GHz. How do microwave ovens tune this? I understand it's very difficult to tune high-frequency waves, because a 1mm ajustment would throw you off. And if water resonates exactly at 2.300.000.000Hz, which would be your range of error (I mean, the variation you can have and still being able to make water resonate acceptably). Thanks a lot. Flavio
