Resonance can cause a wine glass to shatter - Leaving Cert Physics - Question g - 2017

Resonance is the phenomenon in which an object or system begins to oscillate at a greater amplitude at specific frequencies known as its natural frequencies. This occurs when energy is transferred between bodies oscillating at the same frequency. In practical terms, resonance happens when an external force, like sound, matches the natural frequency of the wine glass, causing it to vibrate intensely and potentially shatter.
