resonance frequency

Resonance frequency is the specific frequency at which a system naturally vibrates. When an external force or wave matches this frequency, the system can absorb more energy, amplifying the vibrations significantly. This phenomenon can be seen in musical instruments, where certain notes resonate strongly, and in structures like bridges, which can sway dangerously if exposed to resonant frequencies from wind or traffic. Essentially, resonance frequency describes a key point where natural and external forces align, leading to enhanced oscillation or movement.
