specific response of as system which is able to oscillateres with a certain period, to an external force acting with the same period is called
Correct answer: C. resonance
- A. TIME period
- B. wavelength
- C. resonance
- D. doppler effects
Explanation
When an external force has the same frequency (or period) as the natural frequency (or period) of an oscillating system, the system's amplitude of oscillation is significantly amplified. This phenomenon is known as resonance. During resonance, the external force synchronises with the system's natural vibrations, transferring energy efficiently and causing larger oscillations

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
