Solution

The phenomenon involved in tuning a radio set to a particular station is called resonance.

  1. The word resonance comes from Latin and means to ‘resound’ – to sound out together with a loud sound.
  2. Resonance is a condition of forced vibrations. When the frequency of an externally applied periodic force on a body is equal to its natural frequency, the body readily begins to vibrate with an increased amplitude. This phenomenon is known as resonance.
  3. Resonance is a common cause of sound production in musical instruments.
  4. Resonance only occurs when the first object is vibrating at the natural frequency of the second object.
