impedance

impedance
a) A measure of the opposition to the flow of an alternating current in a circuit; the aggregation of its resistance, inductive and capacitive reactance. Represented by the symbol Z.

Some argue that having impedance mismatch is difficult for programming intensive applications.

b) a measure of opposition to motion of something subjected to a force.

But the impedance mismatch between SQL and Java was no better than between SQL and other languages.
