Resonance can be defined as the condition in which force is applied to an oscillator at the point of maximum amplitude. In this way, the motion of the outside force is perfectly matched to that of the oscillator, making possible a transfer of energy.
As its name suggests, resonance is a matter of one object or force "getting in tune with" another object. One literal example of this involves shattering a wine glass by hitting a musical note that is on the same frequency as the natural frequency of the glass. (Natural frequency depends on the size, shape, and composition of the object in question.) Because the frequencies resonate, or are in sync with one another, maximum energy transfer is possible.
The same can be true of soldiers walking across a bridge, or of winds striking the bridge at a resonant frequency—that is, a frequency that matches that of the bridge. In such situations, a large structure may collapse under a force that would not normally destroy it, but the effects of resonance are not always so dramatic. Sometimes resonance can be a simple matter, like pushing a child in a swing in such a way as to ensure that the child gets maximum enjoyment for the effort expended.

We are the fife The flute, and the Fiddle We’re the strings, the Melody, and the refrain
Yours is the chord The measure, and the Music The conductor; you synthesize In sympathy, you are the hand on The keys, and the lips on the flute The breath in the woodwind, and The beat in the drum, you’re the Mountain, we’re the palisades That echo your call, we are the Fleet Immobilized to conquer or fall
Flags unfurled, or gathered in herds We’re the lions and the lambs, you are The storm; you’re the Zephyr’s wings, we Are splintered; we’re as autumn’s fallen Leaves Tarried, and ushered by the breeze…

Greetings from dos Amigos! Another weekend has rolled around....and Summer is almost over. Hoping you are having a good one.....staying safe and happy. This is our latest creation......inspired by the Desert Dreams card on my manofhiswords.com page. I hope you like it, steer heads are always a favorite of mine.
HiYa Girlfriend! Thanks for VibeS* Glad you like B.O.T. Yeah I guess it's one we can All relate to huh! Your valued opinion always appreciated mate. LoveYaHeapsX*
