Resonance is a phenomenon in which an external force causes a system to oscillate at an amplitude that is disproportionately large compared to the amplitude of the external force. In linear systems it occurs when the system has one or more resonant frequencies at which it is prone to resonate and the external force is applied at a frequency at or near one of those resonant frequencies. Resonance is an extremely common phenomenon that has been studied and applied across a wide variety physics and engineering disciplines. Many types of systems that oscillate have the potential to resonate.
