it's a collective oscillation of the free electrons at the boundary between a dielectric and a metal, typically. The resonance character comes from the coupling between an electromagnetic field and this charge oscillation, which is best described as a plasmon-polariton.

Any object in absence of external force vibrates with it's natural frequency. When the frequency of the external forced vibration matches the object's natural frequency, we say that resonance has occurred. In this situation the amplitude of the object's oscillation becomes larger. How much larger depends on the amplitude of the forced vibration.
Surface Plasmon Resonance
Basically without math, certain metals have elecrons that are "free" silver is one of these metals. These free electrons are necessary for a condition called a surface plasmon to exist. Now silver particles in an aqueous solution will have two parts to its refractive index, that of the water and that of the silver nanoparticles. Next is the interaction of light. Photons can be thought as particles or waves, in this case we will think of them as waves. When an electromagnetic wave interacts with the surface plasmon mode it causes the free electrons that are part of the surface plasmon to oscillate, usually in anti phase to the electromagnetic wave. This essentially causes certain wavelengths of light to be blocked from propagating, causing them to be reflected and giving the colour that you see. Im actuallydoing some research on silver nanoparticles at the moment, and we can change this colour from yellow to almost anything that we want. For a yellow colour we see a plasmon resonance peak ca. 420nm but based on the size and shape of the silver nanoparticles we can tune the plasmon resonance peak. Mie theory can be used to calcuate the extinction co-efficents. The reason why this is also called the surface plasmon is that the light waves will not penetrate more than 50nm so the interactions at the surface are the most important.

We cant really see nanoparticles to tell if they have colours, some do depending on what they are made from, but more commonly we see nanoparticles as a suspension in water, ethanol or some other solvent. These solutions can give rise to some intense colours, this is due to raylaigh scattering that takes place from the nanoparticles. A phemonon called surface plasmon resonance also has a part to play in the colours that we see for colloidal nanoparticles.
Normally, metals absorb very little in the visible light spectrum, and are thus highly reflective. This is the case with bulk (non-nano) gold. However, at very small particle sizes (~2-150nm) have high electron densities at their surfaces called surface plasmons, which interact with light through surface plasmon resonance. Depending on the particle size, the surface plasmons' effect varies. At small diameters, these electrons strongly absorb green light (wavelength of about 520nm) and as the diameters grow larger, the surface plasmons absorb higher energy light. As the the nanoparticles get larger, their characteristics approach those of the bulk substance.
The vibrations. If a glass exhibits resonance (a clear tone when struck or tapped it exhibits resonance) it can be shattered by using sound waves at that frequency. This causes distortions in the surface which build and cause it to shatter.
Yes. It's an effect called 'resonance' - two identical things can vibrate in synch if the vibrations of one can someone pass to the other. The usually way of doing this is to stand them both on the same surface, so that the vibration can pass through that object.
