Meaning of condition of resonance

The condition of resonance refers to a situation where the frequency of an external force or disturbance applied to a system matches the natural frequency of the system. When the frequency of the external force matches the natural frequency of the system, it causes the system to vibrate with maximum amplitude, resulting in resonance.

Resonance can occur in various physical and mechanical systems, such as musical instruments, electrical circuits, bridges, and buildings. In order for resonance to occur, the natural frequency of the system and the frequency of the external force or disturbance must be in close proximity.

When a system is in resonance, the energy transferred to the system from the external force is maximized, leading to large vibrations and potential damage to the system. Therefore, resonance is often undesirable in many systems and must be avoided or properly controlled through design and maintenance.
