What do you mean by resonance?

Resonant means something vibrates at a given frequency. Usually if you can get an object to resonate at its resonant frequency - it will disintegrate !

For example - if you tap a wine-glass, it 'rings' - that's it's resonant frequency. Now - take a speaker and play the exact frequency through it, while holding it close to the glass - after a few seconds it will shatter because the glass vibrates too fast.

Resonance is when a system oscillates at a particular frequency with more amplitude more readily than others. Electrical resonance occurs when the impedance is at a minimum (for a series circuit) or at a maximum (for a parallel circuit).
