Question
What do you understand by resonant oscillation ?

Answer

When a periodic force is applied on a body and the body frequency is equal to its natural periodicity, that is, if the frequency of thrust oscillations is equal to the natural periodicity of the body, then the oscillation amplitude will be maximum. Such oscillations are called resonant oscillations of the body. If sound is produced by oscillations then it will be of maximum intensity.
