Resonance
When dealing with sound and its interaction with various objects in space, a resonant frequency of a wave is the natural frequency of vibration determined by the physical and chemical properties of said object. This property applies to many fields of physics when studying the way an object behaves in certain situations. Objects often have multiple vibrating resonant frequencies, and it will pick out those frequencies from a series of excitations, making it an even more useful tool when identifying the properties of an object.
Natural Frequencies
The existence of resonance in and of itself depends on the existence of natural frequencies as defined above.
