Let's say that that's what resonance is all about. Anyway, it need not be exactly the same frequency; just close enough.
Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate with larger amplitude at some frequencies than at others. These are known as the system's resonant frequencies. At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude oscillations, because the system stores vibrational energy. Resonances occur when a system is able to store and easily transfer energy between two or more different storage modes (such as kinetic energy and potential energy in the case of a pendulum). However, there are some losses from cycle to cycle, called damping. When damping is small, the resonant frequency is approximately equal to a natural frequency of the system, which is a frequency of unforced vibrations. Some systems have multiple, distinct, resonant frequencies.
Natural Frequency
An overtone is a natural resonance or vibration frequency of a system. (see link for "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency")
Lowest-frequency: Radio Waves Highest-frequency: Gamma Waves Hope this helped! :)
The word for "number of vibrations per second" or "cycles per second" is frequency. Otherwise, you might be looking for the density and bulk modulus of the medium, and the intensity of the energy... which will establish the natural frequency of a system.
Resonant
resonance is the behavior of resonant frequency while resonant frequency is the cause of it. There are basically two types of resonance; Electrical and Magnetic. Resonant frequency is that particular frequency for a system for which the system performs its best. while the system at that particular situation can be called the system at resonance
Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies, known as the system's resonance frequencies (or resonant frequencies). At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude vibrations, because the system stores vibrational energy. When damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is the frequency of free vibrations. Resonant phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, NMR, ESR and resonance of quantum wave functions. Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific frequency, or pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies.Resonance was discovered by Galileo Galilei with his investigations of pendulums beginning in 1602.

Natural Frequency
In natural frequencies the output of the system will be less than the maximum level. In the resonance frequency the output of the system will be the maximum level.
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.
The natural frequency of the spring refers to its frequency when hit or struck. Its lowest frequency is called fundamental frequency. For a spring, the 1st mode of natural frequency is fundamental frequency.
A phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of a force applied to a system matcches the natural frequency of vibration in a system, resulting in a large amplitude of vibration.
An overtone is a natural resonance or vibration frequency of a system. (see link for "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency")
Every mechanical system has a natural frequency of vibration, a frequency at which it will go more and more out of the normal range. Any sort of vibration at that frequency can cause a total systems failure. The most famous example of this was the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
The fundamental building period is simply the inverse of the building frequency at the lowest harmonic - easy right? Basically, every system has a set of frequencies in which it "wants" to vibrate when set in motion by some sort of disturbance (in building design, typically a seismic or wind event) based on the system's mass and stiffness characteristics. The shortest frequency is known as the natural frequency. The inverse of frequency is the period of the system, and more specifically, the inverse of the natural frequency is the fundamental period.
