- Electromagnetic impedance, a constant related to electromagnetic wave propagation in a medium.
- Mechanical impedance, a measure of opposition to motion of a structure subjected to a force.
- Acoustic impedance, a constant related to the propagation of sound waves in an acoustic medium.
- Linear response function, a general way to represent the input-output characteristics of a system.
- Object-relational impedance mismatch, difficulties encountered when a relational database management system in an object-oriented programming language
