Which are examples of resonance? Check all that apply.the volume on a stereo being turned upa note being played on a saxophonean opera singer breaking a glass with her voicea person pushing a swing at the rate it naturally oscillates back and forthan echo

Answer
A
the volume on a stereo being turned up
B
a note being played on a saxophone
C
an opera singer breaking a glass with her voice
D
a person pushing a swing at the rate it naturally oscillates back and forth
E
an echo

Explanation

Resonance occurs when an object is driven at or near its natural frequency, causing it to vibrate with a larger amplitude. A saxophone produces notes through resonance in its air column, and a singer can break a glass by matching its resonant frequency. Pushing a swing at its natural rate also increases its motion through resonance. Turning up stereo volume and hearing an echo do not, by themselves, describe resonance.
