| 释义 | transition frequencytransition frequency[tran′zish·ən ‚frē·kwən·sē]  (engineering acoustics) The frequency corresponding to the intersection of the asymptotes to the constant-amplitude and constant-velocity portions of the frequency-response curve for a disk recording; this curve is plotted with output-voltage ratio in decibels as the ordinate, and the logarithm of the frequency as the abscissa. Also known as crossover frequency; turnover frequency.   (quantum mechanics) The characteristic frequency of radiation emitted or absorbed by a quantum-mechanical system as it changes from one energy state to another; equal to the energy difference between the states divided by Planck's constant. |
