Resonance

Definition

Resonance is the phenomenon that occurs when an external force matches the natural frequency of an object, causing it to vibrate with maximum amplitude.

Related terms

Natural Frequency: The natural frequency of an object is the frequency at which it naturally oscillates without any external forces acting upon it.

Amplitude: Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance from equilibrium that an object reaches during its vibration or oscillation.

Damping:

Damping refers to the gradual decrease in amplitude over time due to energy dissipation in a vibrating system.
