Question
Give any two applications of resonance.

Answer

1. A radio or TV receiver set is tuned to the frequency of the desired broadcast station by adjusting the resonant frequency of its electrical oscillator circuit.
2. The speed of sound at room temperature can be determined by making the air column of a resonance tube resonate with a vibrating tuning fork of known frequency.
3. The frequency of a tuning fork can be determined by making a sonometer wire, of known mass per unit length and under known tension, resonate with the vibrating fork.
4. The amplitude of the oscillations of a child on a swing is increased by pushing with a frequency equal to the natural frequency of the swing.
