1 2 3 4 5 Resonate: To vibrate at the resonant frequency or natural frequency. This means that when excited by an external force, the system will vibrate at this frequency. For example, if you hit a bell or tuning fork they vibrate at a particular (resonant) frequency. In mechanical terms, it is the frequency where very little force at at a frequency produces a very large amount of displacement (Low impedance).
