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.

Answer the following:
If you compare the gravitational force on the earth due to the sun to that due to the moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the moon’s pull. (you can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of sun. Why?
