What are the causes for the resonance?

In: Waves Vibrations and Oscillations [Edit categories]

Answer:

Resonance is actually the tendency of vibrating body to increase its amplitude when applied frequency becomes equal to its natural frequency. When we apply a frequency equal to the natural frequency of vibrating body (i.e by giving a push to a swing FOR EXAMPLE). This push (force) makes amplitude double. Because Amplitude directly varies with Force but Time Period or Frequency does not change.
