transition 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.

On the contrary, CPE25 addition initially decreased the transition point as compared with pure polymer but on average the behavior shifted to higher frequency values and the highest transition frequency of 3.4 rad/s was observed at 30% CPE content, which would have resulted because of better miscibility of the phases.
