RESONANCE An oscillating system is in resonance with some driving force whenever the frequency of the driving force matches one of the natural frequencies of the system; the system responds with a large A.
Phase velocity, Group velocity and Dispersion How might a pulse change shape if the phase velocity is not constant, but depends on frequency?
