Resonance

In this A-Level Physics masterclass, we break down one of the most powerful and often misunderstood concepts in oscillations: resonance.

You’ll learn:

1. What resonance really is, with a clear and simple definition

2. How to identify when resonance is occurring in real-world and exam contexts

3. Why resonance matters — from bridge collapses to vibrating tuning forks

4. Two worked examples to build your understanding

5. And a final challenge question for you to try at the end

Whether you're just starting Year 12 or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, this session will help you feel confident tackling questions on resonance and explaining it clearly in exams.
