1. Musical Sounds
When a violin string vibrates, the wood of the violin will also vibrate at the same frequency. This makes the music louder. This vibration is called resonance. Every material has a natural frequency that will cause resonance. Resonance is also how an opera singer can shatter a glass. If the singer can produce a sound at the natural frequency of glass, the glass will resonate and shatter.
