When an external force with angular frequency $\omega_d$ acts on a system of natural angular frequency $\omega$, the system oscillates with angular frequency $\omega_{\mathrm{d}}$. The condition for the amplitude of oscillations to be maximum is
  1. $\omega_{\mathrm{d}}=2 \omega$
  2. $\omega_{\mathrm{d}}=\omega$
  3. $\omega_d=\frac{\omega}{2}$
  4. $\omega_{\mathrm{d}}=3 \omega$

Solution

Both amplitude and energy get maximized when the frequency is equal to the natural frequency. This is the condition of resonance. $\omega_{\mathrm{d}}=\omega$
